Anyone Tired of their Wiper Blades?

Post by MadeInJapan »

I got so sick of the Bosch blades that Volvo uses- supplied by the dealer and/or bought at an autoparts store. Anyway, I recently ordered a set of Valeo wiper blades from tirerack for my wife's '04 V70 and was very pleasantly surprised at how sleek they are and how well they do the job. These don't clatter over the glass no matter how cold it is outside. I liked them so much that I ordered a pair for my S70 as well. I thought I would pass on the info to members here. Currently, it's buy one and get a second one free. http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/valeo/ultimate.jsp

These ones look very similar as the ones that Costco is selling here under the Michellin label. I have them on my V70 and like them. Tried them on my '04 Sienna and could not see out the window. They were horrible on that vehicle.

I like the RainX blades. No streaking and you get a good 6 months out of them.
