Question Wiper blades

Hey guys, I'm thinking about changing my wipers cause they are streaking even after cleaning. I was thinking of getting these Bosch wipers

I know i need 22" and 18" but i'm not sure if they'll just fit right on to the car without any extra clips would anyone happen to know or have these blades? Also does anyone know where I can get these other than ebay. I checked the repco and supercheapauto websites but they are thin on information.

Rain-X blades are good too. I go either Bosch or Rain-X.

I will be getting a set of the Bosch icon as soon as I go to an autozone that has our car's size in stock. Not sure what the Australian equivalent of autozone would be though.
I got a set of the above mentioned blades for my mother's car and they work remarkably better than other cheaper brands, and leave minimal or none streaking. Consequently they do rub a little harder and you'll be able to hear the noise produced from it if it's not raining very hard, but you'll probably get used to it after a while.

Those linked are fake Bosch FYI...they are Bosch style. It also states right in the description "Fits all standard wiper arms."

If you get genuine Bosch Icons they will hook up to the stock wiper assemblies no problem. Make sure you get the right sizes as the driver and passenger blades are different.

I've had mine on for over 2 years (transferred from another car) and they still perform very well. Well worth the $40 investment

Thanks for all the replies guys. I didn't know the ones on ebay were fake... Anyone know where I can get some genuine Bosch Icons or Evolutions? Preferably in Sydney Australia. I just noticed my Toyota Aurion has Bosch Evolutions or maybe they just look like them, they are awesome.

Supercheap sell Bosch. Not sure if they stock them though.

Incase anyones interested I've found, what should be, the Bosch Evolution wiper blades on the super cheap auto website: BBA500 and BBA450. They cost $29.36 a piece and super cheap want $15 for delivery if you order off the website. Might go see if they have them on the shelves.

/edit just picked them up at the Super Cheap Auto at North Parramatta, works like a charm!
