I had installed the frameless wiper blades from Bosch and Valeo on my previous cars that didn't originally have the frameless blades - but they looked weird.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had installed the frameless wiper blades from Bosch and Valeo on my previous cars that didn't originally have the frameless blades - but they looked weird. The arm stuck up too high from the windshield and just looked ugly. Anyone with any experience and pictures :-)

POST 2Original post

there is a wind deflector on the stock wiper... that alone should be a good reason to stay oem.

POST 4Original post

I put frameless on in the winter. Never go too fast with them. They're uglier from the inside than from the outside.

POST 5Original post

have valeo on my mk2 and it looks and works fine.

POST 6Original post

Here's the earlier thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...st-wipers.html Valeos have been great. In MA I'm sure you've been through the hassle of swapping winter blades on and off. The Valeos are fine in the summer and fine in the ice.

Are you really asking US how they look? Trust your own eyes...then decide.

POST 8Original post

My OE blades never worked very well for long; The Valeo replacements work better for far longer

POST 9Original post

Here are a few quick pictures of the blades on my car:

ok these are beautiful

POST 11Original post

Must be a slow day if we are talking about wiper blades

POST 12Original post

Slow enough for me to say I wish I could get rid of a fine streak of missed spot my oem's leave. I've got a quick fix pair but eh. I'm still wondering if the refill blades really fit. I didn't see how to fanagle refills in last I looked.

POST 13Original post

wiper blades? really? 'beautiful?' The car they are attached to is, but the blades on their own... nost so much, for me at least The important question is whether this brand covers the passenger side completely at highway speed. That was my problem with the Bosch Icons as opposed to OEM.

POST 14Original post

From my limited experience with the Valeos on my wife's car I won't be putting them on the 911, she totaled hers the next day. I'm almost positive that she was admiring the shiny new wipers and missed the policeman stopped in front of her. Well she didn't exactly miss him, just seeing that he was there. She was doing 25-30 in traffic on main street.
