Wiper blades VALEO or OEM Volvo
The oem volvo ones are all I've found, I just settled on those for my s90 cuz the guys at auto zone gave up trying everything that claimed it would fit...
Pros: reliable fitment
Vehicle:
Volvo S90
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

These Valeos are a direct OEM replacement and have been great for me for a year.
Pros: great OEM replacement
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
Pros: perform great, easy to install
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: VM387
I installed this Valeo set a few weeks ago. They've been excellent so far.
Pros: excellent
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 bought a pair of Valeo's that made me feel like I was on the beach, from all the seagull-like squeaking.
Cons: loud squeaking noise
I hope others read this and follow suit. The Valeo OEM ones are so superior to the aftermarket Bosch ones. Even brand new, Bosch are rubbish.
Pros: Valeo ones are superior
Cons: Bosch are rubbish
