vs
Wiper blades VALEO or Tesla
I get mine from TireRack.com - the Valeo Ultimate Beams are almost identicle to the OEM wipers and work great
Pros: work great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Then, I'd recommend swapping your blades over to these from Valeo: Pay no attention to the Amazon listing for size/compatibility - VM387 is specifically for Golf MK7 models. I went through multiple types and brands of wiper blades years ago trying to solve chattering/skipping issues and these have proven to be the best quality, smoothest, and longest lasting by far.
Pros: best quality, smoothest
Cons: chattering, skipping issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: VM387
I've been buying Valeo blades from rockauto for awhile...they seem to last
Pros: seem to last
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 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
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
mine freeze up and to a terrible job.
Cons: freeze up, terrible job
When I picked up my M3, it was raining and did this from the moment I left the lot. I’ve cleaned the windshield (inside and out), but the streaks and haziness still appear when the blades activate. Perfectly clear when the wipers aren’t active. I was hoping that replacing the OEM blades would help, but after reading you had already done that, I’m not as hopeful.
Cons: streaks, haziness, ineffective
