Andyjo Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I made a run up to winterlude the other day, it was mighty cold out and snowing when we left.. the valeos did pretty well with the snow, but when the snow melted, and then froze again i got some streaking.... not really a big deal, it happens with all blades when they have ice chunks on them i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Dammit, they ship to Canada via UPS. Guess I'll have to prepare my rear orifice for good reaming, kinda spoils the deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steady Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I bought a pair today. Thanks for posting that. Got a 24" and an 18". Unfortunately, they called me about 2 hours after i ordered and said that they were back ordered and were expecting more about early to mid march. i ordered from the nevada location, not sure if that makes a difference.

Claw Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Are these Valeos that much better than Bosch? I can get Bosch here from Partsource, CrappyTire, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamie700 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I got to use mine this morning with the snowstorm we are having in the Twin Cities. Holy crap, I can't beleive I could see anything at all with those dried out stockers, these Valeos are great! People on the fence just get them, its worth it.

waynekranzler Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Got mine a couple of weeks ago. While they work much better then the stockers and the driver's side wiper cleans up everything in its path, the passenger side wiper leaves about a 2x10" unwiped arc on the windshield at about the middle of the wiper length. Suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSPRO Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Got mine today and just put them on, so simple lol. I used the sprayer to test them out and WOW they worked well, now if it would only rain outside lol Amy 04 FXT vf39 5mt  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKonBLACK Limited Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 got 2 inches of rain today, and these wipers are awesome, so much better than the crappy OEM. I always thought my windsheild had some film on it because it would show up with OEM wipers in a rainstorm. (no matter how many times i cleaned it) Not a problem anymore.

HarryD Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks for the Heads-Up! I am currently running the Bosch Icons, this is the second New England winter, and I have been quite happy with them. I believe that the Valeos have been around longer than the Bosch version and I have no doubt that these will be just as good as the ones I have now, and you cannot beat half price.

PaulNEPats Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I got a pair of the Ultimate's and I must say I'm disappointed. The edge chatter created by the blades give you a headache. Especially if there isn't enough precipitation on the windshield. I never had this problem with the stockers. They clean the windshield a *little* better than the stockers, but it's nothing amazing. It wasn't worth the money I paid for them, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 DOn't know if it is an issue with the subies but I know in the wifes A4 if the wiper isn't a perfect 90 to teh windshield it chatters. Does it chatter in both directions or just one? If it is just one direction the wiper arm probably needs a little twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
