Wiper blades OEM Mazda or VALEO
Get Valeo wipers and you will be all set. I purchased those for my Q8 etron 2024.
Pros: you will be set
Vehicle:
Audi Q8
I use the OEM valeo wipers and they're great. Theyre also great in my experience.
Pros: great wipers
The wiper blades they sell are made by the OE supplier, Valeo, and are excellent quality. Also, FCP warrants them for life.
Pros: excellent quality, lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
Volvo C70
I've bought and used the Valeo ones whihc are a perfect fit
Pros: perfect fit
I keep the Valeo Titaniums in stock and have put them on a lot of cars. They hold up pretty well. The only time I will use something else is for rear wipers or windshields that are flat, as the beam style blades usually don't work too well on glass that's more flat instead of curved.
Pros: hold up pretty well
Cons: poor on flat windshields
Valeo wiper blades, the ones I had before my current ones lasted for 5 years and only had 1 small trace in the middle.
Pros: long lasting, minimal trace
Just recently ordered the OEM valeo blades from fcpeuro and they're already easily the best wipers I've had on this car and less than $40 for the pair. No adapters needed and they dont leave a drop behind. Highly recommend.
Pros: best wipers, no adapters, no drops
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
The other 4 cars in the family all do better with heavy rain than the CX30 did when I got it. I did figure it out after a while. Step 1 re-bend the wiper arms by hand just a little so they have more firm contact with the glass ( old mechanic trick ), Step 2 Rain X the glass using the wipes not in the washer tank, Step 3 front defroster on cold. This works for me in Florida torrential downpours at 90 degrees, 80% humidity and 1/2 inch per hour rain rate while doing 65-70. Works way better now. I still use auto mode for wipers most of the time, but I do use high for anything over a light rain as they are still a little slow compared to the 2018 Escape, 21 Tahoe or even 87F150. My other Mazda is way better as far as wipers go.
Pros: works way better now
Cons: wipers initially slow, still a little slow
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mazdas wiper blades suck and constantly get recalled
Cons: poor quality, frequent recalls
Vehicle:
Mazda
Dealership/official Mazda service basically gave me a middle finger. So new car, issue since first rain. They said that they've put a replacement rubber for free and that it's normal for it to make sounds. Nothing more they can do :D In case you're wondering, it's acceptable that your new car even with replaced blades sounds like 30y old rusty from your local junk yard. Such a shitty experience. My first and last Mazda. It's too much work apparently to replace the wiper itself under warranty or at least investigate (since the issue is gone at higher speeds >> could indicate faulty spring/wrong pressure).
Cons: makes sounds, shitty experience
