2013 - do Bosch Icon wipers fit?
 
Hey all

Quick question - I've seen varying answers on this...can anyone with a 2013 confirm that the Bosch Icon wipers fit? I've read the 2013 has a unique connector, but every retail site I've looked at states the Icons will fit

And if you do have a 2013 with them installed...any issues with them?

Thanks!
Michael

I'd love to know the answer to this also!

I beleive the Bosch Icon wiper has the J type attachment. 7/2012+ MINI R55 R56 R57 have the newer style I style.

Thanks ECS - I had seen that thread previously when I was researching it - but no one seems to definitively say they have a 13 and the icons do/don't fit with an included adapter - all the retail sites state that they do in fact fit.

You are welcome, I did not see them with the " I " type hook . You will have to see in the newest package and let us know.

Check bosch site :

http://www.boschautoparts.com/icon-wiper-blades " Part not compatible with 2013 Mini Cooper " That what it states , but would have to see the attachments.

Interesting - if you look them up on Amazon, and use a 2013 Mini Hardtop as your vehicle, it claims they fit - I need to sort out how to take off the factory wipers so I can see what the connector looks like

No they will not, I have tried.

Cerenkov - thanks for the info...did you find any other non OEM wipers that fit?

Not yet. I've tried all the typical brands at the auto parts store (me and an employee one day opened the different boxes) and also PIAA which didn't work either.

I had them a couple years ago and they fit perfectly on my R53 W/O adapters. Tried to order another set when they wore out and Bosch didn't offer them.

I ran them on my 04 R53 and now my 09jcw. Love them
