Question 1

What does the A and the B stand for ?  I thought all blades could fit either the driver or passenger side?

Accepted Answer

From the Bosch website:
"Driver side always has an “A” part number. Passenger side can have an “A” or “B” part number depending on the vehicle. Blades with a “B” part number have a greater curvature specifically designed to wrap around the passenger side window for greater visibility and clarity. Bosch continues its innovation and leadership with the ICON OE Multi-Clip connector, which offers a like-for-like OE replacement. The Multi-Clip features a flexible connector system, simplifying the installation process for all types of vehicles."

Question 2

this may sound stupid, but on their website they list a 22A for the left and 22B for the right.  do i really need to purchase the seperate models?

Accepted Answer

I would say no. The Bosch website no longer lists a "22B" for the 2015-2020 Ford F150. They now indicate 22A for both sides. Frankly, I cant imagine how a 22" beam style blade could be appreciably different. Apparently Bosch feels the same. If you can locate NOS 22Bs, use two of those as they are cheaper

Question 3

Can this be used with my Honda Civic 2008? Is it compatible?

Accepted Answer

If the 2008 Honda Civic is a sedan, then the Bosch 26A Icon Wiper Blade should fit the left wiper slot. If Coupe, there is a different blade that fits, Bosch 28OE I believe.

Question 4

Does this work for the Tesla Model S?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does, but be sure to order the OE version. There is an extra piece on the outside of the mount as it comes from Bosch. Take that off and the blade fits perfectly.
