When it comes to buying OEM like wipers for my previous VWs, I always had good luck with Valeo brand wipers.
My OEM wipers lasted a year. I decided to go with PIAA silicone blades. They are working fantastic. I'm hoping they will last longer than a year.
PIAA silicone blades. They last for years.
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.
FWIW, I found the stock wipers I had pulled off the car before really using them to go with the PIAAs. Not sure why, but the stock work so much better than the PIAAs, which were really starting to pi%s me off. Anyway, thanks to the contributors to this thread...it didn't even dawn on me to put the OEMs back on...though it was a design flaw with the wiper arm not having enough tension on it or something.
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.
Silicon blades are the way to go. They last way longer and have a cleaner wipe which is why you don't see them at most retail locations.
I have Valeo wipers on my B8 currently. They clipped right in with no modifications needed.
