Wiper blades VALEO or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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

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

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

I've had my 2019 S since May, 2018. The original wipers wiped OK, but began to get noisy a few months ago. We just went into the rain season here, so I replaced them with new from a VW dealer in San Antonio TX. The new ones are dead silent and wipe cleanly and completely.
Pros: dead silent, wipe cleanly
Cons: original wipers noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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

Another thing you might notice on your Tig is that every once in a while when you switch your car off or turn it on, the wipers will "twitch", basically just move a couple of millimeters up or down. It's to prevent them from sticking to the glass and baking on, in areas where you might not use your wipers for weeks of months at a time. It supposedly keeps the blade's edge in healthier shape.
Pros: keeps blade's edge healthy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
My stock ones clean well, but they squeak like none other.
Pros: clean well
Cons: squeak loudly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Plus the OEM blades that came with the car were complete crap.
Cons: poor quality
