They should updated the instructions to just say..
“Pull so hard you feel like you are going to break it.”
Thanks this the best comment
This is the best comment ever
Exactly
Yeah thanks to your comment, I got it done because I was trying to take the wiper cap off and felt like if I pulled any harder, I would break it. However, after reading your comment, it reassured me that was what I needed to do and it worked!
Yes, Bosche seem to lack certain skills like picking up a telephone or replying to a query.
I have seen the same across product lines..
They seem lacking in certain skills
This wiper blade is very easy to use if you are using the pre-installed mount. Otherwise removing it to use the other adapters is extremely difficult because the instruction manual is global and doesn't have any language in it. Just a bunch of generic photos doesn't make the removal seem very easy but actually very difficult. There is no troubleshooting whatever
Yes, and no..
I happen to be a qualified mechanic, not to the cheap end of the market like vw , but on the Rolls Royce and Bentley end.
The apprenticeship is about the same though in college, on basics so the specialised side may be harder.
But why?
I can remove an engine on a VW beatle in less than 15 mins on my own even though I am not trained on that, and I have a disability.
Why should it take a web search to figure how to swap out wiper blades for a modern Vollkswagen?
This is exactly why I’m here right now
Well ain’t that something I don’t wish to do for a very long time! Worst instructions ever!
Took me 40 minutes to finally decide to look up a dang video! I thought I was going to break the wipers if I pulled any harder to remove the piece that came with the wiper. Turns out I had to pull even harder. Finally I was successful.
Yeah, lucky for me my car came as standard with no wiper blades as do most cars from new so fitting factory recommended blades was easy.
I dread the day I need to replace them though as the idiots at bosh do not give any detail on that.
In stead of "pull f-ing hard", try prying the original attachment off with a screw driver. There are two sets of little prongs on each side of the underside of the adapter that you can gently pry out to more easily remove the adapter. Also, don't show someone with dainty little hands and polished nails removing something that a weightlifter would have trouble with. :-)
no
They can be removed without a screwdriver.
Depends on the set mind, but screwdrivers are not required I think.
The modern blades for miner now manufactured in china an the lack of quality is plain to see.
Bosche seem reluctant ant to address the lack of quality, but lets face it, they never got back on any issues prior.
Perhaps they are incompetent, perhaps they are plain rude.
Both imo.
Removing the plastic piece is not as easy or as smooth as it shows. Basically you have to rip it off and it’s makes a noise like you broke it.
I swear to god these are such a pain in the ass if your car doesnt use the pre installed adapters they really should sell these seperately with different adapters attached other than that these wipers are very reliable.
So true i just installed mine, it was a pain taking the preinstalled adapters that it came with off. Man she made it look easy! She didn't even brake a nail. I nearly cut myself several times lol. I need to hit the gym again maybe thats why.
Thanks goodness for this video, the instructions these things came with were useless as hell
Surprised Bosch have not picked up on the numerous complaints.
Perhaps they should read these posts from 2 years ago, or even set up a complaints line or tech service?
Thanks you make my day great 👍👍
Super sa ma vraiment aider
Had to watch this video to figure out how to remove the #1 attachment (pull f-ing hard). Other than that no issues installing them on my 2017 Escape SE.
Pull f-ing hard... That worked for me. You should write the instructions.
Yeah! Just yank that thing off like you're starting a motor!
Thank you. Your comment helped me figure out what was wrong. Thought I was going to break the whole thing when it finally came off!
Holly molly I've strugled for hours until reading this comment.. Thank you man!
Lol... Had the same issue.
Yes Ted, the idiots missed a trick there and seem to assume the customer has a car with no wiper blades initialy
The help lines do not seem bothered to get back on this when a question is logged.
Uther blades are available and I suggest you vote with your feet.
Can you use J-hook type blades and these clip on ones interchangeably? My car is newer and came with these clip on ones, but they're more expensive.. ? Can I get an adapter to use the J-hook type?
Speak to the lazy folk at bosch I guess if you have time to waste.
Nice! Thank you!
Will this fit 2016 Cayman?
which Bosh Icon has this adapter number 3 on it? Im trying to find it and I have no luck so far!
waste your time complaining to bosch enough and they may get the message.
Bosch should get IKEA to do their diagrams. My first wiper nearly broke my tendons and took half an hour. Second one came off easily and took about two minutes.
Lol. Vote with your feet.
They will get the message perhaps when the brain develops.
I just buy OEM GM blades for my verano. Comes with the right adapter already on blade . Installs in less than 2 minutes and cost same or less than other brands.
And less grief I guess. Vareo and others also make blades that fit various cars so shop around.
The picture shown above is worthless. You need to pull the part that rotates away from the wiper and it will come off .
No adapters in my packaging
This is Bosch's channel, and i'm noticing they don't respond to anyone! This is lousy customer service! I just may look elsewhere for a wiper blade then.
Yes, they are brain dead I think and treat customers like crap..
My suggestion is to move to a different brand.
Vareo do blades that fit my car as do a few others.
@@midjehunt7424 I did. I now use (believe it or not) an inexpensive, 'no name' brand I get from Amazon, and their wipers are truly amazing!
Pops off easily with a screw driver.
I'm having trouble with what should be a simple installation and this video IS NO HELP. Taking them back to the parts store right now.
Yum.
When will Bosch be bothered to read the complaints.
Last time I will bosch
Other brands are available and you are unlikely to get as much grief.
Yes was difficult to get it off/then I squeezed it just pulled on her /pop! Then I put the wrong number on six instead of a number three. That wasn't too bad switching. It's all good now and I didn't ruin it 🤣
There are no adapters in my package?
me neither.
The adapters are pointless when the adapter it comes with won’t even come off. They make it look so easy in this video, yet it won’t budge. These wipers are shit and I feel like I just wasted soooo much money because they cost so damn much.
Just over $80 for two Bosch ICON blades only to realize after several hours that *Bosch Icon blades are not compatible with top-lock wiper arms* ... period.
Bosch 'advertises' the blades having a "universal" adaptor for all wiper arm types. As it turns our, their "universal" adaptor is not universal - unless they mean using duct tape to attach Icon blades to a top lock wiper arm. Because Icon adaptor doesn't work - it's not even CLOSE to working. Unless you have duct tape or a welding torch. _Furthermore_ the package itself contains no instructions. Whatsoever. Nada. Zip. Zero. Not one word. All they provide is these also word-less videos with terribly annoying music especially annoying when you've spent hours trying to connect blades to your car that in fact, cannot be attached. Bosch, you're not even within Hubble telescope range of "half assed" in this product and support. And for $80+ you frankly should be ashamed.
Bosch, you 've lost a customer for any of your goods. Ever. Icon are supposed to be the 'higher end' model yet you provide false advertising of "universal adaptor" that won't fit top lock arms, in a package without a speck of instructions. That $82.34 is the very last penny you'll ever get from me. Pennies which I can't claw back because *YAY* opened wiper blades cannot be returned to the auto parts store where I got them. "Bosch policy" the man said. And totally not surprising in retrospect.
*RATING: 0 out of 5 stars*
Why so expensive? Wipers should cost no more then £20 for any car, even with a rear wiper blade.
Yeah, the distributor capacitor for a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow was the same as a BSA A65 I recall but had different prices.
Tell us the make and model of the car you were quoted $80.00 for wiper blades and we may be able to get a better price for you.
If I find a cheaper alternative that is not bosch I will post it as I have no respect for the idiots at bosch.
Just pry from the sides and the front end where her thumb is. It takes a few seconds but it's not rocket science. The pictures themselves surely stink.
Bosch appear to have no complaints line and only one telephone number to cover 6 areas of contact all of which where unavailable a few weeks ago.
The lack of a complaints department means even if you manage to ge through to anyone, they can treat the customer like crap.
They all state if you manage to get through on any line that they reserve the right to record messages, but are not keen on the customer recording messages and have a habit of putting the phone down before you even start.
Very rude.
Waste of time Bosch employing them even if they cannot do simple tasks.
Sack them all and use a different species of monkey perhaps.
In the meantime I move all my household, garden, and automotive products to other manufacturers..
Some are cheaper, some more expensive, but I don't mind taking the risk as long as I do not have to waste time with Bosch.
Easy don't buy bosch blades
Very true.
They seem to treat customers like crap so vote with your feet.
