Detailed Description

The Bosch FOCUS FS28OE is a 28-inch windshield wiper blade engineered for direct replacement applications where a beam-style blade is specified. Fitment includes front left and front positions across models such as the Honda Civic, Ford Transit-150, and Mercedes-Benz ML350, with application notes where the blade is slightly shorter than the original part on select Ford Transit and Transit Connect listings. The FOCUS line focuses on a streamlined beam construction, integrated aerofoil, and refillable-free design for straightforward service replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Restores streak-free wiping when the existing blade leaves water lines.
• Replaces worn rubber that no longer maintains even windshield contact.
• Addresses chatter, skipping, or uneven wipe patterns.
• Helps correct reduced visibility in rain, snow, or road spray.
• Provides a service replacement for vehicles requiring a 28-inch beam blade.

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle position and blade length before installation, especially on applications noted as slightly shorter than the original part. Confirm the connector style matches the vehicle’s wiper arm and use the included adapters as needed. For best results, clean the windshield and inspect the wiper arm for wear before installing the new blade.

Quality Assurance
