Robert Bosch LLC, worldwide supplier of high quality parts and systems to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the independent aftermarket, introduces the all-new Clear Advantage Wiper Blade program. The new program reduces the SKU count from 19 in the previous program to 12 part numbers, while increasing the vehicle coverage to more than 98 percent. Blade lengths range from 13 to 28 inches.

“The new Clear Advantage Wiper Blade program combines a low inventory footprint with high vehicle coverage,” said Martin Kashnowski, director product management, wiper systems, Robert Bosch LLC, Automotive Aftermarket North America. “This offers automotive service and sales professionals an excellent opportunity for turning a profit without maintaining a large inventory.”

In addition to the reduced SKU count, the new Clear Advantage program now features the Click-On adapter system providing quick and easy installation. The Click-On adapter system covers all popular hook and pin connections as well as the increasing range of OE connections, including pinch tab, side lock, and the various top locks, including the new top lock narrow 16mm connection.

Features of the new Bosch Clear Advantage Wiper Blade include:

• Patented beam design that resists ice and snow buildup

• Graphite-treated, blended natural rubber wiping edge for a clean and
quiet wipe

• Aerodynamic wind spoiler to create a downward force which ensures a consistent wipe even at high speeds

Bosch now offers wiper blades at competitive price levels and for practically every vehicle on the road,” he said.
