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.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
OK guys, based on your recommendations, I just ordered a set from tirerack.com. I did some research and they got excellent reviews during a harsh Canadian winter (what country is that in?). Just letting you know that I'm holding you completely accountable.  |

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
I use Gillette wiper blades. 5 blades in one and the precision of one blade (battery powered of course)

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
I think I might take the wipers off my car. It only rains about three times a year here.
