Actually, I was saying that the rubber inserts should cost about $8 total.  The driver's side wiper part number is 76620-SDA-A01 and the passenger's side wiper part number is 76630-SDA-A01.  They should both cost about $24 total.  I'll PM you the email for Ryan at AFH to see what they can offer you for prices.

Totally not going with Bosch Icons again. The driver's side wiper leaves about a 12" diameter circle of unwiped space. I'll attempt cleaning the windshield and wipers better, but I'm fairly certain this issue is unavoidable.

OEM inserts here I come!

I've been using valeo's from tire rack with pretty decent results. I've had my pair for like the last 2 years and they still work. I should replace them soon though.

You removed that bracket on the underside of the DS arm?  I've seen that happen and in most cases removing the bracket fixes the gap problem.

I use Icons and I swear by em.  Last set lasted 3 years.  I just wipe down the actual blade every months to make sure its clean.

Hmm, I don't recall what bracket you're talking about... the old wiper comes off with the clip thing, and the new one goes on with its own clip thing. I'll have to take a look sometime. Where is this bracket located exactly?

About halfway on the wiper arm on the underside.  Its shaped like a U and is held on by a screw.

Other than the missed spot, these blades work very well. I think now that the issue is resolved, I'll consider sticking with this brand. Only time will tell for how long they'll last though.
