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.
When it comes to buying OEM like wipers for my previous VWs, I always had good luck with Valeo brand wipers.
I got some Anco wiper blades for my mk3 jetta, I got them on rock auto for about $2 each. They're the high performance ones, I don't remember which ones though. They don't skip like the Bosch ones I had on it before did.
Valeo (OEM to VW) on ECS Tuning, $30 USD for the set. Direct installation, no goofy adapters to mess with.
These Valeos are a direct OEM replacement and have been great for me for a year.
I got ANCO 31 series blades from Amazon for like $8. They are working fine.
Ordered these from Valeo (VM387) for my R and my gf's MK7 GTI. They already came with the adapters installed and took all of 2 minutes to replace them. They perform great too. :thumbup: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SRACAOO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I installed this Valeo set a few weeks ago. They've been excellent so far.
This came off the passenger side of my car. The wiper is made by Valeo, a huge yurrupean car part supplier. The replacement blade I bought wasn't curved.
I have a set of Valeos on right now and they suck. I'm going back to the Bosch Icons I used previously.
