Hi Jeff, I went to amazon and it's indicating the 2023 EV6 is not compatible with the Bosch Icon blakes, so figuring it was an Amazon "thing", I went to the Bosch site and they confirm that the Icon blades don't fit the 2023 EV6... I'm at work at lunch and don't have sound up, so not sure you mentioned it or not...

Just installed them on ours a couple of days ago. FWIW all MY EV6 wipers are the same. Perfect fit. (y)

The following is a moot point I suppose, given @TechnicallyJeff's response...but did you use the Amazon app or checked directly on their webpage? I ask because I checked the Amazon web page right before typing this post:

Hey everyone - below is a quick video showing how to replace the windshield wiper blades in the EV6. I searched the forum and found several posts about upgrading the wiper blades (many referencing the ones I installed) but didn't see any with a video showing how to do it, so I figured I'd share. It's very easy once you enable wiper service mode.

Let me know if you have any questions!

OMG, wiper service mode 🤣
It's definitely a brave new world.
Thanks so much for another great video.

Dude! I literally just bought new blades today from Costco. Thanks for buying your car at around the same time as mine, lol. That was absolutely perfect timing.

Nice catch.

Side question: has anyone tried 26A & 17A? 1/2' on either end of the passenger wiper to help with clearance. Seems the driver's wiper leaves a trail. Someone on FB was claiming to have bumped up to 17A.

We have the Bosch 16A and 26A blades installed. Just measured and the space between the tip of the 16A blade and the A pillar and the blade on the driver's side is ~3/4". There's more than 2" between the tip of the 16A blade and the roofline where it sweeps across the top of the windshield.

So if the 17A blade is mounted at the same point as the 16A, giving it an additional 1/2" at each end, it appears that it would fit. It's guinea pig time! :LOL:
