Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
Couldn't find the new Bosch Icons in the H3 size so I tried the Reflex blades. They streaked something awful so I put the oems back on.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
told to stay away from the reflex and use only Valeo Ultimate (common on new GM vehicles), Trico Innovisions or the Bosch. Almost purchased the Bosch at Auto Zone when I picked up my Silverstars, but decided to order the Valeos since that is what the five I know are using them. That five does not count the ones that came standard on GM cars, these were added on after the cars were purchased.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
I'll have to see about ordering a set, maybe. They sound better than what I'm using now.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
They use those on mercedes-benz also. They work great when they are new. But skip like crazy when they get slightly worn. Should change them every season.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
Ordered a 2 for 1 set from tirerack.com and installed them yesterday. 17" fit great and make full contact with the glass on both sides like f5 said they would.
Haven't had any snow to test them in yet, but it was below freezing last night and there was no streaking, squeeking or freezing on the blades during normal wash and wipe.
Thanks f5

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
To my dismay, I have had a chance to test them in snow and spraying salt. They work great.
As for replacing each season, I do that already. For some reason, blades seem to last only about six months before deteriorating.
