I googled and they seem to be wiper blades. http://www.bosch.us/content/language1/html/715_4502.htm

The OP was not very good at describing.

The Bosch are very nice and I use them myself. But the Teflon ones at BJs/Costco are exceptional as well. I put them on my daughter's Mazda6 and last time it was in for service the parts manager said they were a lot better than Mazda stock.

Many stock wiper blades seem to be a spot where the manufacturer cut some costs and then they charge an outrageous amount to replace.

Bosch ICONs

If you're due for wipers and you have an advance auto parts in your area, hit it up asap, they're on sale 25% off i just paid $29.81 including VA tax for both driver and pass. Bosch ICONs. My wiper blades literally just fell apart (22500mi) I don't know if they are the OE blades or not as I just bought the car 3500 ago
