I bought the 18 inch and the 28 inch, listed up thread, (and below, for your convenience) and they fit my 2014 P85D even though Amazon said the 18 inch would not. I did not need any other parts or attachments of any kind.

Out of curiosity, I'd looked to see what Amazon offers "specifically for my vehicle" and no Bosch blades of any type come up -- only other brands.
Did some research and found that the recommend Bosh ICON wiper for the front left is the 28AOE. Digging a little further is seems that the spoiler for the 28OE is designed to be used for either left or right side whereas the 28AOE spoiler is specifically designed for the air flow at the Left side location. Bosh does say either will work but they specifically recommend the 28AOE. This is the first replacement for my early 2013 MS40 (we don't get much rain here in southern Calif!). For the front Right side the 180E is recommended as several posts here have already noted.

Checked on the Rain X Quantum today (as I like the Rain X blades). The Rain X Quantum QBW-F is a 26" blade, I don't think they make it in 28". It will obviously work, just a bit smaller than the 28", but as far as I could see at AutoZone, the letter sizes are E are 24", F are 26", I would assume G is 28" but the rack ends at F.
I ended up buying the Bosch Icon instead, the 28" AOE on the Driver side, 18" OE on the passenger side.

Those blades only worked briefly for me then right back to garbage. I'm down to a 24" Bosch Icon blade on the drivers side and application of Rain X 2 in 1 cleaner/treatment every 2-3 days. Seems to be doing the trick. Chatter free wiper performance for up to about 30mins of a driving rain.
Another member is reporting the Michelin Stealth blades work great but you need to contact Michelin to get the adaptor piece for the passenger side blade to attach. It's included on the drivers side blade.

Hmmm.... I'll let you know how the Bosch Icon blades work. Hasn't rained since I put them on. The blades I replaced were definitely worn out so can't be any worse than those.
I have used the Costco Goodyear blades on my other cars with pretty good results. I usually end up using the Rain X window wash and it appears to sheet off the rain and keep the blades from chattering.
May be worth looking into. They don't sell it at Autozone though. Saw some at Target the other day.

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to remove the wipers. I pinch down on the clips under the wipers and even push that center square and can't seem to remove them. Anyone got some tips or maybe even a video on how to remove them?? I've taken wipers off before but this one has me stumped.
BTW I order some Valeo wipers and will chime back on how well they work.

Having a lot of chattering with the wipers. Are the wipers recommended in this thread relevant to 2016/17 models? Are they the same ones that come standard / installed at service intervals. Looking for a better wiper than the included ones at delivery

It should all apply. I am still using the Rain X 2 in 1 and Bosch Icon blades (with a smaller drivers side blade). The Rain X is good for about 20mins or so of light rain then it starts back up with the chattering. By far my biggest hang up with my wife's Model S. It drives her crazy as well.

As an FYI, I haven't had any issues with the Bosch blades and they are actually doing pretty well after 10 months or so. Been raining here pretty regularly and I haven't really had any chattering issues so far.

I'm in the UK and can't get these Icon blades. Even if I could I guess the left and right blades would be wrong. I can however get Bosch Aero blades.
Anybody got experience of these?

Glad someone resurrected this posting...
I have since moved to the Michelin Blades and they worked better than any other blade I've tried but still chattered after some continued use. Not as bad as the Bosch Icons though. I did have to call them to get the correct adaptor to mount the passenger side blade. The person I spoke with happened to be located in south FL as well and after I explained all my drama with these blades he sent me another pair in a different size for me to experiment with. I will mention their adapter didn't fit snug into the wiper arm and had an annoying click when it transitioned from one direction to another from the clip having some slop. I fixed it by wrapping the adaptor with clear packing tape so it locks in tight. I told the person I spoke to about this and they were going to revisit the design so who knows if it that issue has been fixed.
HOWEVER!!! The bigger news is that I found a SOLUTION!!!!!
After 2 years of fighting with Tesla Service in West Palm Beach I finally got enough rapport going with the SA and he got approval to replace my wiper arms even though everyone he spoke with said it would make no difference. Well guess what??????
IT FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!
I still have rain X on the windshield and it there is ZERO chatter now despite the years Tesla blamed the poor performing wipers on my rain x application. They work as good as a Chevy Malibu now. Which is to say they are perfect. I do still run a 24" driver side blade and have not tried going back to the OEM size so YMMV.
This has made life in FL so much better.

The two wiper arms on the front windshield. The actual arms that the blades attach too.
They replaced them with OEM wiper arms. Except this time they work. For nearly 3 years they sucked donkey balls.

Unless your arms were defective or bent or they made a change in the design, I fail to see how this could solve the issue. I changed to the Bosch Ikon blades yesterday and those solved the problem for me. It was raining throughout the day yesterday varying from sprinkling to heavy and they worked without any chatter. Smooth and quiet. I have Rain-X on my windshield.
