Just ordered a set tonight. Anything is better than the stock wipers or the Winter Blades.

Anyone tried this blade? https://secure.nsvirtualflow.com/sil...ct_vehicle.cfm

I'm a little leary of tirerack as they still owe me a $25 rebate on tires I bought from them for my F-150 that I traded for the H3. Been over a year now, but they keep telling me "It's being processed".

I hear they're excellent blades, but the frame is still hinged, so I'd expect ice build up on the hinge in winter.

This was my first purchase from tirerack.com but it went smooth and shipped fast. The "2 for 1" was a little confusing because they just cut the price per unit in half, but I figured that out when I updated the quantity to 1 and back.

I bought the Valeo's as well after reading about them here. (used them as "filler items" on a cardomain order to get free shipping)

They seem to work pretty well, but the passengers side doesn't sweep the top 1" or so. It catches it on the down strokes, but at vertical position it is raised up off the windshield. I've been meaning to pull it off and compare the shape to the driver's side, but haven't yet.

Both are 17", I'm wondering if the passenger's side arm doesn't put enough pressure on the top to keep it on the surface. ???

Best part is you won't get ice/snow buildup between the arm and the blade as on the stock design. That was the problem I encountered last year. Had to stop repeatedly and knock the frozen snow out between the blade and the arm.

My Valeos arrived quickly from tirerack.com and I installed them. Had a good rain to test them out in.....awesome performance. Can't wait for the snow and ice! Thanks for the info guys. So far, well worthwhile.
