So apparently Bosch Icons now have a different style of hook. Well, first of all, Bosch doesn't list any of their blades with sizes for the NB...all they list are OEM blades. Not sure when that changed because I used the Bosch book to look up the size when I got my Microedges. Anyway, picked up a set of Icons today since my Microedges are shot. They didn't have any of the 421A or 421B blades at all. Hardly any numbered sizes like that. Instead, they had the 21" blades in 462. No A or B designation. My fiance had went in to buy some blades for his parents car a few months ago and they told him they were changing the numbering scheme. So I picked up the 462 blades. Came back to install them (we were in his car at the time) and they won't go on. All the pictures they show on the back of the box...none of them show the hook style wiper arms. No clue what car takes these, but they don't have the hook arms apparently. Now I just have to hope they take them back so I can get the 421's. I need new blades!
