Dunno, but if the cam/thingy slides off. I have several of the rainx ones. You can have. Free! I do know that my icons and rainx are interchangeable on the rainx cam/thingy.…I thought the icon was the same...I looked up the receipt again for icons and it says 21a.....
So does the cam thingy slide off????

I don't think so. I wiggled it around and it does not seem to be moving.

My icons and my rainx blades look pretty much the same, naked, ( without the provided pieces) I am thinking that I gave wrong #...... Dunno how! Again, I am a state away from the icons, so I can not confirm.

Would it possibly be the Icon 21 OE?

Could be, I bought wrong ones..... Then exchanged......then gave you wrong #s.... Sure. It could then be ????#. is it easy access for you to get to a auto-parts store that sells you these things? Because I have some frame things.

Is there a trick to getting the slider off of the blades?

Default *Update*

After looking at it today I figured out that this piece pops out. Is this what you were talking about?

Wow glad this thread caught on!! I see some of you have tweaked things and I may run buy my auto parts store to grab a replacement plastic pin so I can get rid of the locking arm setup that came with the wipers.

I'll follow up more tonight, but thanks for the tweaks to the idea and I'm glad some of you have been able to take advantage!

Also, FWIW I've never had a gap in my setup, but perhaps different sizes would solve the problem - I believe all wiper blades are symmetrical so going OE, D1 style, etc.. shouldn't cause a size issue or gap in theory.

edit: malware was solved a few months ago, can you all confirm original picture work again? I will update the OP soon.
