 Great Wiper Blade December 19, 2009
Bob Klein (Badger Land)
I love this blade. Clean every time and works great in winter weather. The only thing I do not like is the place it connects to the wiper arm. It is large and takes some getting used to.
I love these wipers! February 7, 2010
THATCH (OHIO)
I absolutely love these wipers. Valeo was the first to market with the self tensioned pre-curved wiper blades and even today I still consider them the best. They don't squeak, they wipe cleanly and they look very svelte on the car. I always go back to this brand.
 Used on passengar side November 30, 2009
thy_avatar (Maryland)
This blade is being used on the passenger's side front windshield. It installed much easier than 'regular' blades I've used before-no pulling, pushing, and wiggling to get it to fully snap into the wiper arm. It does not contact the glass all along the blade as it should but does a very good job of cleaning water off very quickly. The only area where it misses is the far right bottom of the wiping area, it's about a 3inch wide by 3inch tall area that it misses completely due to the windshield being curved. It's not an area that you really look through, but a 'regular' blade wipes there. I'll have to wait to see how it handles snow, ice and slush.

Nice wiper blades December 30, 2009
Joseph G. Yax
Had them about 1 month. They hold up pretty good with the 15 degree weather and snow that we have had. Worth the money I spent.
Where it touches, it works January 30, 2010
David Stults (Hillsboro, OR USA)
On my 2006 Impreza, this blade (passenger side) does not actually touch the glass on the far right when the blade is near the bottom of the stroke. Where it does touch the glass, it works as advertised. I've had beam-style blades in the past from other manufacturers that did not have this problem, so I'd say that the Valeo blade may be a little too stiff for curvier windshields.
