Cool, this eliminates the need of a big spoiler on the back of my car now
I wonder if those have silicon on the blades though? Where can you get those? Advanced auto or autozone? |

Hello all....just thought I'd put in my $.02. I've had the Valeo's on my car for the better part of a year,Back when they were a whopping $29.99 each . And I replaced all three of mine and 3 on my wifes Odessey.
$180.00 in rubber!! However they are still quiet,and streak free.Even at high speed.There was one instance last week where some ice built up on the end of the pass blade due to it being lifted off the windshield in the rest position because of the curve on that side.So when it came time to use the wiper's,the pass side wouldn't clear all that well.But all in all,I think it was worth it since their overall condition is very good at this point. And they have come down to $19 or lower since my purchase.

Does anyone know how to remove the wiper arm? I'd like to take mine off to repint them. They're getting a little rusty.

At the base there is a little rubber cap, pry that out and you will see a 12mm nut. Once that is off, release the tension on the wiper spring and wiggle the arm.

Alright I was looking at the first hinge of the wiper without raising the hood. I just went out and found the plug and the bolt. That'll make it much easier. Thanks.

Did you notice these lifting the arm at all? Is there any problem putting them in the "summer" position? I have these on my wife's Audi A6Q and they lifted the arms significantly. Thanks!

I just put michelin wipers with the aero blade on mine. 1 rainstorm so far and they wipe pretty clean. I heard good things about them from people who are undoubtedly biased towards them :P We'll see if they last....

Jamak's new uniblade SUCK. I tried them on both front and rear, and they are pathetic! I put them on my grandmas Escort and they are fine, but not for our windows. I have the michilan ones on my car right now, they are mostly good, but the passanger side still misses the edge near the bottom. I have the IONS on my Maxima and they are Great.

I just put in a set of the formentioned michelin ones. they seem to work very well..they are quiet, chatter free and seem to get a good clean wipe. The only downside is where the blade will perch. Becasue it exerts equal pressure, the soft part of the blade deforms on the raised part of the stopper whereas the old type will sit on it without any problems. The result is a very slight 1/2 inch wide area that doesnt get wiped on only the downswipe of the wiper. Very minimal really, considering the benifits. More on them as the weather comes....

+1 for the Michelin blades, as I was in Eric's car over the weekend. They're quiet and sleek. When I install a set on my car, I will be sure to adjust the position of the wiper arm so that it parks in summer mode without deforming the blade.

I was wondering about the piece that attaches to the arm. It looks like there is a place for the blade holder to rest, but instead my bare rubber is up against it, and it's bending it. Does anyone know if there's a solution to that?
