Wiper blades OEM Mazda or VALEO
I have started buying my wipers from the dealership. Fist they are actually cheaper then most of the brands at the corner car store. Secondly, they work great. My Mazda6 blades are simply the best.
Pros: cheaper, work great, best performance
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
I am a big fan of the Valeo 900 and I find them to last longer than the Bosch
Pros: last longer
After getting tired of constantly replacing the Bosch 19" wiper refills I tried the Valeo 800 series 19" wiper blades. These are much improved and last a lot longer than the Bosch refills.
Pros: much improved, last longer
We dont need new wipers on Tiguan yet but I have been always buying Valeo OE wipers for my CC. I also dont like bulky adapters they fit just like factory.
Pros: fit just like factory
Cons: bulky adapters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
the value blade are pretty good blades for the price. I replace mine 2x a year. Thats not bad for $15 blades.
Pros: good for price, reasonable lifespan
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
When it comes to buying OEM like wipers for my previous VWs, I always had good luck with Valeo brand wipers.
Pros: good luck with Valeo
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Valeo (OEM to VW) on ECS Tuning, $30 USD for the set. Direct installation, no goofy adapters to mess with.
Pros: direct installation
Cons: goofy adapters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I use Valeo wipers, i got me a new set yesterday from, FCP Euro. $22 for the set. Seems to work good to me, wipers in general don't work well on my rock pitted windshield, my OEM blades did last me 3years and 85k miles though, rubber was still okay but the streaks were getting bad.
Pros: work good
Cons: streaks were getting bad
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 136794 km
I have a set of Valeos on right now and they suck. I'm going back to the Bosch Icons I used previously.
Cons: they suck
