Replacement Wiper Blades?
The stock ones have that air deflector or whatever it is on them. Do you take that off or just put new wipers on and forget about that thing?

And you didn't worry about that wind deflector stuff on the factory ones? Just swapped 'em out right?

Nevermind. I just found the part numbers for the Icon's. Driver's side: 421A Passenger side: 421B.

Pretty sure only the driver's side blade has the wind deflector on it. You should be able to buy just the rubber blade. Then again, I'm new to the C6. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure of the size. My C5 had the same size blades on each side.

The entire Icon blade is a spoiler. Gene most likely has OEM blades if that's what you prefer

No I'd rather have aftermarket I just wasn't sure how that was supposed to work. Thanks for the info. On my way to pick up the Icon's.

I ordered mine from GM (local dealer) and they came without the air deflector!
