Product Details

Bosch SnowDriver 28SD is engineered as a windshield wiper blade for drivers who need dependable visibility across rain, slush, and winter road spray. The beam design helps the blade maintain even pressure across the windshield, while the natural rubber wiper edge with graphite supports smooth, quiet wiping. The attached spoiler/aerofoil adds stability, which is especially relevant on vehicles such as the Audi Q7, Ford Transit-150, Toyota Corolla, and Volkswagen ID.4 where front-left or front blade coverage is critical.

This part number, 28SD, appears in fitments for front left and front positions across a wide range of vehicles, including 2017-2025 Audi Q7, 2015-2025 Ford Transit-150, 2019-2025 Toyota Corolla, and 2021-2024 Volkswagen ID.4. It also covers applications such as 2012-2020 Tesla S, 2006-2015 Honda Civic, and 2007-2018 Nissan Altima.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Streaking caused by worn or hardened wiper rubber
• Chatter from uneven blade contact on the windshield
• Poor visibility in rain, snow, and road spray
• Blade lift at speed on vehicles with exposed front glass areas
• Reduced wiping performance from aging original equipment blades

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position before ordering, since this blade is listed for front left and front applications depending on the vehicle. Some fitments note that the wiper blade is slightly shorter than the original part, including certain Ford Transit and Volkswagen ID. Buzz applications. Quick connect hardware is included, but adapters are not.

For best results, inspect the windshield for debris or buildup before installation and confirm the blade seats fully on the arm connection. If the vehicle is listed with a note such as “for vehicles without rain sensor,” follow that requirement during selection.

Quality Assurance

Bosch SnowDriver blades are built around a beam-style design with durable materials selected for all-season use. The 28SD combines a steel frame, graphite-treated natural rubber, and an integrated spoiler/aerofoil to support consistent wiping performance across the listed applications.
