Wiper blades VALEO or Tesla
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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

Volkswagen
Valeo (OEM to VW) on ECS Tuning, $30 USD for the set. Direct installation, no goofy adapters to mess with.
Pros: direct installation
Cons: goofy adapters
Vehicle:

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

Part number: VM387
This came off the passenger side of my car. The wiper is made by Valeo, a huge yurrupean car part supplier. The replacement blade I bought wasn't curved.
Cons: curved, not straight
maybe it’s just tesla wipers suck and leave streaks. Mine get super foggy at night in Florida.
Cons: suck, leave streaks, foggy at night
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
