I’ve had these before, not bad wipers. I think they held up for awhile.

Surprisingly bosch makes a ton of auto parts. They make anything from oil filters to oxygen sensors and even injectors. I haven’t used their wipers though.

Bosch is a major manufacturer of High Pressure Fuel Pumps in light duty diesel trucks. Huge problems as their spec’d out higher than common ULSD diesel that is available at the pumps causing premature pump failure and catastrophic engine failure.

I’ve run Bosch Platinum spark plugs in every car/truck I’ve owned going back to my first Jeep. I think I’ve used their wipers a couple of times, and they were fine. I doesn’t get super cold here, so iced up windows are not really a problem, but it does rain a ton. I can’t really see a huge difference between the premium brands… I get about a year out of them (new ones around October/November)…

some times after market parts for cars/trucks are better and some time they just don’t last like the originals…..
