good experiance with wiper blades

[MacDaddy]

right now i'm running triaco's (i think thats how its spelt) and i'm thinking trying the budget wal-mart hingless blades, not the rainX ones.
I used them before and they worked well, but didn't seem to last too great, and i'm not forking out the money for icons.

anyone got recommendations?

I'm probably going to try longer wipers too.

I know you don't want to pay for icons but I had a set on my TT for nearly 2 years and they still worked good.

still need a set for the S4. maybe for christmas...

I have the bosch aeros. I like them a lot. I got them at autozone.

The stealership Valeos kick ass.

I just picked up the brand new ones by Armor All. They have a silicone wiper blade instead of rubber and are actually guaranteed for 2 years.

Expensive though, $26.99 each at Cdn Tire.

Bosch Icons only grandma hugs tighter! They 20 bucks apiece and are awesome.

I been running Bosch wipers for yrs. until one day i decided to test my pricey Bosch vs a pretty cheap RainX wiper

During my test i used 1 Bosch(left wiper) vs and 1 RainX(right wiper) and to my surprise after 1-2 months of periodic rain, the Bosch was getting all worn out and wasn't doing it job and the RainX was far superior

My Rain X sucks they miss a spot right in my line of vision

How much are the Valeos? Can you only get them at the dealership?

[TPC303]

Sweet, Tirerack.com has a Buy One Get One Free sale on now for the Valeo's!

That makes my decision easier. I'll be returning the Armor All wipers today.

i love my Bosch Icons. They are amazing wipers. Much improved over the stockers I had. They dont make any helicopter or annoying squeaking sounds even if the window is dry!

+1!

I even got laughed at by the guys at PartSource for paying so much for wipers haha!

Go Icons!

You should have a close look at the blade and perhaps try cleaning them carefully, that might be the only issue. I've certainly seen it before.

[BastardS4]

I like the oem flexi ones on the newer passats etc.

i did the wiper arm conversion. Still on the original blades 3 years later.

Icons...going on two years now.

Where do you guys get your Bosch Icons from?

I found a Part Source in Scarborough that could order them (called around)...think it was the Brimley & Sheppard location, not sure though. Something in the $55 CDN range or so.

Icons are the cats ass, don't get me wrong, but i'm not spending $50 on wipers right now, probably next time i gotta change the wipers i will.
