Those are exactly what I have on my 2023 EV6, same size and all. Funny Amazon would say they fit on your 2022 EV6, but not on my 2023. I figured that was their mistake, and I took a chance. They fit fine...

That is odd, but I’ve seen that before. Just a bad database I guess.

Weird thing is, or just a coincidence, our Toyota Venza Hybrid takes the exact same set. We should get a bulk discount! 😆

That's only one of them, you would need the AR167 too.

I’d ordered an AR26u and an AR16u.
I am thinking the icon is a US or similar brand for this version of the aero twin blades.

Having had aerotwin as standard on the last 4 cars, the factory fit on the EV6 are shocking in the cool weather where there is spray or you use screen wash as they smear a lot on wipe take a good few seconds to clear.

Windscreen and wipers are kept clean, so I don’t know if it’s the blades perishing at less than a year or the frames don’t give the same push against the screen.

So for European owners, the bog standard retrofit AR26U and AR16U fit.

A tiny bit unsure to start, but the plastic just needed lining up then a nudge onto it and it slid on and locked.

Using a promotion it was a smidge under £25 for the pair, but even full price it was a smidge over £30 and available on click and collect.

We live in the Pacific Northwest where it's notoriously wet during the fall/winter. Our Bosch Icons are generally good for about a year. I used to have them on "Subscribe and Save" every six months, but it was a bit of overkill. Anything beyond a year here, for any blades really, is pushing it. I've read that they can last two or three years in other areas and climates.

Here 12-24 months is my experience, rather than the less than nine from the OEM.

Obviously that depends on mileage as well as on how well you clean the screen, decent screen wash and how sunny/freezing it is etc in a given year.

Good recommendation. I didn't realize how good the wipers could be.

Although I only bought the EV6 one month ago, it was sitting out in the weather for almost a whole year.

What is the mod?

 

[Doobiewah]

@Gyryn: OE wiper blades vs the Bosch...

 

[Girryn]

I didn't realize replacing consumables was considered a mod these days.

I'm getting ready to "mod" the oil in my partner's car soon.

@Gyrryn: Ahhh, I guess a 'mod' is anything other than OE? Who knows. I just put aftermarket mud flaps (from BestEVMod) on my EV6 that are bigger and nicer than the OE. I don't consider it a 'mod'; however, I suppose to some it might be....I just go with the flow.....

Finding my wipers are really awful at the moment, don't know if it is just because the "rubber" is a bit hard cause its cold, but I got out to clean the bit of ice that refused to budge on the screen, and it was all water, a big area that the wiper just appears to go over without interferring at all with the water on there. I'll need to order some of this bosch ones.

Ordered from bosch store on amazon uk, £23.73 . Never changed wiper blades before, so might be an interesting weekend !

Easy.
1st: power off, then hold the wiper stalk so the wipers are in an upright position. Otherwise, the hood/bonnet blocks them.
2nd: push the tab, then pull down and wiggle them off. The Bosch should have direction printed to install. If I remember, the aero over pops off, then hook/snap on.

That's one of the things I love about the Bosch beam style blades, they are dead simple to replace. Once you get it sorted, two blades in less than a couple of minutes.

Here's how to remove the OE blades and how to install the Bosch blades:

most kind of you guys, thanks

 

[Why EV6]

I use Peak Optix. Priced around $11 at the local Sam's club. I consider them the generic Bosch brand.

Read the manual for how to get the old ones off and these ones have a shield that opens (Rather than popping off) so read those details on the back of the pack.

Otherwise quite simple but there a little bit of initial resistance but once it’s past it doesn’t resist.

 

[tangey]

wiper blades arrived and fitted in a couple of minutes thanks to the vids and description above. I remember back a long time ago, when the rubber blade itself slide off and just that piece was replaced.

Hopefully these will perform better in the coldish conditions compared to the standard fit ones.

 

[mushoku]

Good info, thanks! I've added the Bosch ICON blades to my camel watch list, hopefully I don't have any significant issues with the stock wipers before the rains stops
