In fairness, the OEM ones made the same noise so can't rule out a vehicle/windshield issue. But I have used the ICONs on other vehicles and they are great. I have them on my truck (1.5 years) and still going strong.

Update to the Bosch Envisions: Although the wipers worked very well, I found them noisy when in use (think old rubber squeegee on glass sound). I have had ICONs for years and only once had this issue - once I exchanged it, the noise went away (I suspect it was sitting on the shelf for a...

Hey @akasonny can you tell me which kit you got? I purchased the OPT7 AuraPro and although it is bright and can change colors, you have to turn it off/on through the app. My goal was to install ambient lighting in the footwells which turns off/on with the car and instead these make you open...

Thanks for the update. It would be great to see comparison pics if you have them. I’m annoyed with Powerstop because I specifically chose the Z26 because they said it was lower dusting. Grrr

Yeah! *ducks head for fear of coming across as a BMW commercial*:umbrella:

Well I went to the BMW dealer and got 4 - 16oz bottles of the concentrate (~$16). Two of the bottles seemed low but they were bulging due to expansion/under internal pressure. I think I messed up my math so made it a little stronger than my 2 degree target (a little less than a gallon with...

Thanks for the suggestion. I was only able to find the one with no freeze protection on Amazon though. What was scary was how toxic this stuff is though. I'm no tree hugger but it seems really bad. My BMW dealer has the BMW concentrate for ~$4. Figure 2 bottles will give me a gallon of 2...

Not so funny anymore! Lol :) I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. It seems some people state is it only the one with deicer (which is orange like the 2 in 1 and looks almost the same). Here's what the manual has to say about it:

Got me ;) However, there is a lot of posts online and a failed class action lawsuit against rainx from people who had sensor damage or sludge. let me dig them up and link.

Did you consider using a thread locker? Since the 2021 uses one (it’s yellow, I was unable to find exactly the strength but I would estimate it between red and blue considering the removal resistance) I figured it was a good idea.

Can you elaborate? And is the bmw concentrate the way to go?

I typically have used RainX, but after doing research many people with BMWs had issues with it breaking the sensor or clogging up stuff. Since the Supra is BMW built, is it best to get the BMW concentrate? At zero degree protection, it can get very expensive. Thoughts?

I will post back impressions. Last night I had to move the car in a lite rain and they were good but I can’t say it was any better than the icons (which are excellent) or really any new blade. I started using the icons after about 20 years of other brands and have found them amazing and long...

Check with these guys for harness. I used them for my BMW X3MC which has the same ID6 as the Supra to install a sub and amp (not positive the amp is the exact same). @tadda (creator of the port mod) stated he was going to do an amp/sub so check out a thread from him. In the interim, here is...

Can't be a lot of help, but I did not have a good experience with R1 Concepts rotors (drilled - on my 5600lbs truck). They started to get cracking between the holes. Pads are a different story but perhaps others will chime in.

Yes, I found them for $42 shipped but the gf wanted to replace now. I think BMW OEM blades are pretty good (my 2 year old X3MC seems fine), but not sure how long they will last vs. the ICONS. With the ICONS I have run them on my truck for many years between changing. This has actually made...

I just installed these sizes (22" = Driver, 21" = Passenger) but used the new Bosch Envision wiper blades. They are pretty expensive (~$36 each o_O) but AutoZone did not have an unopened Icons which I usually use (seemed like returns). These are supposedly better with super 8k night vision /...

I don't know why, but I LOLed all over myself with this response :D

Thanks for the update. Any degradation in performance? Oh and can you advise if you ended up switching the metal backplates over? If so, how did you go about that? I’m hoping bedding them in makes them dust less. Really don’t want to have to swap again.
