valeo aero wiper blades

Hi all
No questions for once just some useful info, as i searched the forum and found nothing on these babies.
Was looking at upgrading my front wipers for the vag aero wipers when i found this website offering these wipers £25 delivered to my front door and so easy to put on 2mins max but the best bit they look and perform mint.

[TimBarratt]

Have you tried any yet. I tried some which were designed for the Renault Senic and they kept jumping off my windscreen. Anyone know if these are better.

Nice one, I've been looking for something like for ages.

Presumably they just fit onto the existing arms?

As per the other posts:

1. are yours still working OK?
2. do they have/need "spoilers"?

Cool might order some of these up on pay day.

don't bother if u have a leon m8 they don't fit just tried to fit mine
they go on easy click and ya done but if u have the angled wiper on the passenger side they hit the plastic covering because of the way the arm is bent
shame really they do wipe the widow screen quit good
does anyone want to buy them £15 lol

try removing the end cap and cutting the blade by an inch so it doesnt foul
then replace the cap

any pics of the Valeo ones in situ?

 

[GazM]

I have a pair on my Leon that I got off Ebay and they fit ok. They also work really well, no juddering at all and really quiet, even when the screen is hardly wet.

I thought they were 21" and 19" though I didn't measure them.

Hi all

Yeh these wipers are just like the bosch / vag aero wiper blades, mine fitted perfect and wipe mint not catching the side of the window at all, 18" passenger side and 21" for drivers side
It rained today so it was the first test other than using the windscreen washer and they worked brill I carnt rate them enough.

do u have any pics they hit the plastic on my motor i have one 18" and the other is 21"

The problem I had when i tried a set of these was that ever now and again the drivers blade would lift off the screen. For the first couple of weeks they were perfect, and I didn't have any problems. After about two months it got so bad it became dangerous. So I replaced them with a normal set of blades and everything was fine.

The ones I tried were Boosch I think. I would be intested to know if these ones are any better. Like I said it took a few months though before I saw the problem.

Stupid question time now, so feel free to reply with a sarcy answer if you want

Is it just the passenger side you have problems with? Which side do you have the 21" blade on?

My problem was with the drivers side which is the 21" blade.

on the drivers side

on the drivers side

just take that black cap off the end of the wiper and trim it till it fits then glue the end cap back on and away you go

I've just been outside to have a look at mine and they look like they sit higher up the windscreen than yours Beowulf.
I have about 1.5" between the blade and the plastic trim yours is fouling on. If it were lower it would definately be in the way.

It might be worth taking the arm off and moving it round a spline or two to get it out of the way if you want to stick with the aero blades.


Tim, did the blade lift off while you were going along, or was it just that it lost its' springiness?
I've only had mine a couple of weeks so I'll keep an eye on them and report back if there's a problem.
