'17 wiper blade fit guide
My 2017 has 9,000 KM on it and the original wiper blades are shot (they streak like they are 5 years old). I am definitely put off as blades this new should last a lot longer in Australia (where they aren't subjected to winter).
I am looking to switch back to the beam style (my go to in any climate) but most don't seem to fit the 2017. Ideally I want the Bosch Icon, but Amazon and Bosch both claim they won't fit the 2017.
Has anyone tried fitting the the Bosch Icon? Or can anyone recommend a good beam (springless) wiper that does fit?

Agree with the above suggestion. My wiper blades streaked from right off the dealer’s lot. I used a good quality windshield cleaner from P21S full strength to thoroughly clean both the windshield and the blades themselves. The blades had a coating which came off as black on my cloth. I also replaced the wash fluid with the same P21S solution diluted to a maintenance strength.
My streaking and smearing went away after that.
