Bosch Icon's are the best I have found. No other wiper blade can compare!

(They cheapest place I find them at is usually Walmart. Usually can get them for $20 per blade instead of $25 per blade at parts store)

http://www.tascaparts.com/ford/f-150...&position=left you can get 2 for pretty much the price of 1 Bosch icon.

No, however, check and make sure your keyway is still in place.

And don't say a couple pounds.

How big are your keys?!

We talking the key to Gotham or something?

And when people say the keyway fell out they are wrong

Thanks for the diagram 13.; I understand the concept. I wasn't sure whether TB15XLT was yanking my leg or not so my response was based on an old joke.

I've seen threads on here about the key falling out of the keyway and stripping the wiper; that's not the case here, or at least I don't think so. I'm hearing a relatively loud thud or thunk when the blades reverse and start back to the resting position; almost like the rubber blade has too much play in it and it's making noise as it leans back the other way.

Anyway, this noise is quite noticeable. Wondered if others were experiencing it.

Not here, but my drivers side has been chattering from the get-go...

You should take yours by your dealer, they should hopefully be able to repair whatever it is under warranty.

RainX every few weeks and you can get 2x the life out of whatever blades you have. I usually use the cheapest SuperTech blades from WalMart.
