Have this Wiper blades mounted on my Audi A6 now for 6 months and am now fully satisfied. The old original wiper blades with the joints were very cumbersome (joints permanently frozen, thus wiping bad results) in winter. In the summer / autumn ever have similar leaves caught in it and leave streaks when wiping. Not anymore! The new Bosch wiper blades fit right away and could be easily installed. These blades wipe the disc itself at higher speeds flawlessly clean.
The old wiper blades, which I had as a precaution, neither gathered, I have now disposed of.
