Wiper blades VALEO or OEM Volvo
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
I love Valeo, its a french oem supplier and atleast with wipers, theyre awesome.
Pros: awesome performance
You have OE Bosch? Cool, buy Valeo they're exactly as good.
Pros: exactly as good as OEM
sometimes I think it gets itself into a feedback loop. It's like the sensor detects the wiper itself as rain and speeds up, which will lead the sensor to detect the wiper again and speeds up further. Now thinking about it; I don't think I have had this issue recently and I did change the wiper blades in the spring, so maybe that helped.
Pros: new wiper blades helped
Cons: feedback loop, speeds up
Vehicle:
Volvo V90
While the blades weren’t great, they were skipping across the windshield, especially in lighter rain. The tension was WAY off and after the tech adjusted it, I’ve been pretty solid the last 8 months. It works with the washer fluid or a car wash just fine.
Pros: pretty solid after adjustment, works with washer fluid
Cons: weren't great initially, skipping across windshield
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
Dealer replaced the blades, but it didn’t help. The replacement blade they used looks expensive, it has the washer tube built in.
Pros: washer tube built in
Cons: did not solve problem
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
I personally hate the Volvo blades as they are shot in 6 months
Cons: shot in 6 months
