These blades are the best for the money (if you have Amazon Prime, of course)

I have been using the PIAA silicone wipers for years and am very pleased. While they only last about a year here in Chicago, the layer of silicone that they lay down on the windshield provides the equivilent of permanent Rain-Ex. Expensive, but you pay for what you get.

Bosch Icon's here.
Started with'em about 4 years ago and I'm on my second set.
VERY good for not getting filled with snow and ice.
Excellent contact, clear windshield, zero problems.

Can't agree with the bad review for the Rain-X. Idk why but all wipers squeak on my 850 but otherwise, the Rain-X actually remove water from the windshield. I highly recommend them.

Also, using Rain-X on the windshield can make aging wipers chatter less. It's just annoying to reapply.

If your getting streaks then something is wrong. I would say compound your window with a very fine paste and lots of water. You shouldn't get streaks after that.

Had the exact same problem with my 850. I took the arm off and bent it slightly.Perfect ever since. Best blades I ever had.

Any mods needed to make it fit on my 850?

Nope, should fit right on.

Yep - rainx has issues with being too stiff and their mounts seem to be either too loose or too tight - all of which causes poor contact with the glass.

I highly, highly, highly recommend trico neoform wiper blades. imo they work great, are super quiet and they're substantially less expensive than rainx and bosch. Just got sets for all of my vehicles for about $8.50 a piece after rebate...thats for top of the line; not mid level. Seriously...
