Has anybody tried these before? How would they stack up against say.......the PIAA wiper blades? My blades are going and I'm deciding on a replacement. Thanks in advance.

the concept looks interesting... I am also in search of new blades...

 

They certainly look nice and clean, eh? I heard great things about PIAAs, but I think I'm going to sample these. They look good and the concept makes sense. I guess I'll go ahead and get them and let you guys know how they are.

 

ps, tirerack offers them and for cheaper than if you buy them straight from the posted site

 

yeah, I'd like to know how you make out on these....keep us posted

 

Hmm .. the linked site doesn't seem to have them for subaru's, unless I selected something wrong somewhere.

Some new domestic cars come with them, I don't remember which, I think the Ford Five Hundred and possibly some Volvo's come with them. They seem to work more smoothly than most "regular" wipers and less play when transitioning from left-to-right movements.

I'd like to try a set. Whatever happened to silicone?

 

let me know how you like them.

 

actually these are really popular in Germany. They sell those like they do the rain x wiper blades. Mostly Audis and BMW, Mercedes comes with those. So, I never used them myself. Though.

 

also going to buy some new blades soon, keep us posted

 

They look similar to Bosch Icon wiper blades.

 

nice

 

Dunno about those Valeos but I know my Bosch Micro Edge Excel is the bomb...I've used them for like 5 years and you only replace 1-2 times a year.

I have the same set that was on the car in HI which means they went on a boat in the ocean so yeahl...Bosch is the bomb!

 

My car is now three years old and it still has the stock wipers. The problem is that there is a wing on the driver-side blade that I think is cool, unfortunately it is attached to the blade, not the arm. The Bosch ICON I believe has a driver-side wing on it so I am waiting for them.

 

Those Valeo wipers are 29.99 a piece plus shipping! The bosch are 17.99 and 19.99 + 5.50 shipping from amazon....I think I'll go with those. Just ordered from PartsAmerica for $42.57 shipped

 

I just got my Valeos in today! I'll post detailed installation instructions as well as a review.........just for a goof.
