Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
I've been using the Bosch Icon's on my H2 and my wifes Trailblazer, they work great.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
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. ???

I haven't had any issues with my Valeo wipers. In fact- I like 'em so much I bought 6 more pair.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
The Bosch wipers mentioned look pretty similar. Bet they work just as well.
Anyway, I like the wipers, but in my case they both broke. The one pic with some red outlines shows (blurry) where some plastic broke which allowedthe metal spline to pop out and that's all she wrote.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
Not much luck with mine. Ordered two pair off the bat, one didn't lay right on the windshield and trashed it right off. Passenger side of the the set on now doesn't make a full, clean swipe. Lifts off at the edges and leaves a big swath right in the middle.
Not too happy with them.....  |

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
If anyone cares  ...
After a couple months, my Valeos failed. Both of them. And the one I repaired with epoxy failed as well. Went out and bought 2 Bosch Icon blades this past weekend. They look similar to the Valeo. A few H2'er said they had 'em on their rigs and liked em. So I'm giving them a shot. I bought 2 17" blades. They fit fine. I'll let y'all know if they hold up longer than the Valeos.

Re: Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades
I have a set of Valeos also, but once we had snow and ice they fell apart. Right now I've got them taped together with electrical tape until I can replace them.
