My solution to the proprietary wiper issue.

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Now I can use any standard wiper possible. I really wanted Bosch Icons but Autozone assured me they wouldn't fit, though the Bosch Evolutions were said to fit. In the end I found the real issue when I went to install them. This was my solution. I'll get Icons next time around.
I removed the center attachment point from the OEM wiper assembly and clipped off all the excess plastic and attached the jet to the arm lower on the assembly. I then cut the hose to length and attached it to the jet. I'm happy with the look of the result.

Just installed a set of bosch aerotwins with built in sprayers. Fit perfect.
Only downside is that I had to order them from ebay at $50 and they were shipped out of Romania so took a while to get here.
I've read that the sprayers on these are a little weak but mine throw more washer fluid than oem.
