Silent as they go across the glass, clears the water at any temp or speed driving, dirty water kicked up from other cars doesn't need to be rinsed with washer fluid. A couple wipes across the glass and it's clear as could be.
sweet! my next set will def. be valeos..but so far the PIAA's are doing awesome!

Well well well....
Had the blades for what...all of 3 weeks...used them maybe 4 times, and my driver's side blade won't flipover as it comes up. The blade stays angled up....and is squeaking like a MF as its doing it.
I think I'm gonna call Tirerack.com and complain.

+1
Doesn't affect how it works though. Makes full contact with the rest of the glass when they start to move.

On the topic of the Valeo wipers, Put them on the A4 and didnt like them, Dont know maybe its just me but they seemed to skip a bit. I use bosch whatevers on all my cars... just the 10 buck ones from murrays. Its just a wiper!

You did not just say that.
Wipers are extraordinarily important to me for visibility. I can't stand being behind a streaky wiper or having visibility reduced in any way. The first mod I always do when I get a new car is replace the wipers (the sole exception being my Maxima, as the wipers were nearly brand new when I got it). I am certain others feel the same.
I suppose now you're going to say you were just joking and I'm taking things too seriously
