Wiper blades OEM Subaru or VALEO
Reviews
As for the wipers, i got Valeo from RockAuto for all 3 and they work great a year later still.
Pros: work great, last a year
Thanks for sharing this info, OP. I went with Valeos for my last change. Good blade, but I've been unhappy with the bright white logo at the corner. Looks like the Otto logo is more subdued.
Pros: good blade
Cons: bright white logo
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have a 2017 Subaru Forester Touring, I use Subaru OEM or Bosch. I think both brands are very good wiper blades.
Pros: very good wiper blades
Cons: slight wiper drag
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have them on the wagen right now and they're great, but I am not a fan of Valeo's aggressive logo stamping - there is a white logo on the edge of each blade that's a bit gaudy.
Pros: they're great
Cons: gaudy logo stamping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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
But to the guy who said OEM wipers aren't as good? Well, you're wrong. I've only had to put 3 total sets of wipers on this car in almost 5 years. They work through snow and ice and heavy rain. They are just good wipers and even cheaper than the fancy ones at Walmart.
Pros: work in all weather, good durability, good value
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
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
I had Valeo Ultimate wipers on my truck and had them fail at after about 4 months.
Cons: fail after 4 months
