VALEO › Wiper blades

Streaks/chatter:
Noise:

I agree, I run Valeo ones i buy from FCP, they are pretty good, factory style and fitment, plus they lasted me 3 years before i replaced them because they were making noisy glass farting sounds so i gave em the heave ho. I think the part that keeps em quiet is the slippery teflon-like coating that when they wear out they start making noise when the bare rubber starts to show. 3 years not bad on a $17 set, Ive had OEM Toyota ones on my 4Runner barely last me 10 months before getting super streaky or noisy.

Pros: factory style and fitment

Cons: making noisy glass sounds

I got Rain-X, but they have been great, its been almost 2 years now too. I can't imagine paying much more than what the Rain-X were already being necessary really, unless maybe you are in chronically icy/snowy area.

Pros: great performance, long lasting

Streaks/chatter:

I replaced my wipers with Bosch wipers and added Rain X to the windshield and it's significantly reduced the wiper chatter on my golf.

Pros: reduced wiper chatter

I ended up with some Bosch all season wiper blades. They were like $50 for the pair, but are considered premium.

Pros: considered premium

I put on Bosch Icons at the start of the winter and they've held up decently well. Not spectacular when there's ice build up on the windshield but otherwise good

Pros: held up decently well, good performance

Cons: not good with ice build-up

Right on the package, in a star burst on mine. Unmissable. If you can't see it, it's not ClearMax, just regular, and those Icons definitely will not fit Mk 7 R.

Pros: clearly marked on package

Cons: regular icons will not fit

Bosch Icons The Bosch Icons do fit the 2016 R, as I just successfully installed them. You need to find the ones that are clearly marked on the outside as "Clearmax 365" which is the newest version, and it comes with a small plastic bag inside containing two optional adapters, one being the #4 that we need for the R. You snap off the adapter that is shipped from the factory installed on the blade, and replace it with the #4 adapter which allows it to fit perfectly on the R. The install instructions that come with the blade leave a lot to be desired, so just make sure you install the new adapter with the arrow pointing in the same direction as the one on the blade.

Pros: fit perfectly, newest version with adapters

Cons: install instructions lacking

the current batch of ICONs suck I guess... I had put a set of ICONs on my MKIII and they worked wonders, all my friends have them on all their cars and they all work great.

Pros: worked wonders (old batch)

Cons: current batch sucks

Streaks/chatter:

What is your recommendation for winter blades? Already tried Trico Ice since they worked well on my other car but on the R they skipped and chattered.

Cons: skipped and chattered
