Review on 🧼 Valeo 80018191S SWF 18" and 19" European Wiper Blade (Pack of 2): Premium Quality for Optimal Windshield Clearing by Billy Danaher

I have a 2004 MINI Cooper and have tried a range of quality wipers including Bosch, Rain-X and Aero , and neither conforms to the contour of the passenger-side windshield. Most of them didn't do a very good cleaning job after a very short time. All were plastic. On the other hand, on the driver and passenger side, Valeo wipers perfectly follow the contour of the windshield. They maintain full contact with the windscreen throughout the journey. There is no rattling, squeaking or streaking. With the exception of the blade itself, the construction is all metal. They are lightweight and durable. The wiper on the driver's side also has a wing profile, just like the factory wipers. This no doubt keeps the wipers on the glass at high speed. Having just installed them I don't know how long they will last. But all other brands I've used lasted about 6 months. The only minor downside I can say is that the installation instructions are very small and printed on the box (as opposed to a piece of paper in more than 1 point font. The illustrations make the process more complicated than the installation). Actually it is. If this isn't your first time changing wipers, it doesn't matter. In any case, installation is very simple and is described in sufficient detail in the MINI Owner's Manual.
