Valeo Wiper Blades

Anyone try the Valeo Wiper Blades? They are $39 each at Tire Rack. That's a lot of money for wiper blades, but if they are good, I wouldn't mind spending the money. Especially with the winter coming up. I would appreciate the feedback.

That's what I was thinking, but the Valeo sounds pretty impressive.

haven't heard of them, but i know my PIAA silicon wipers are mighty good!
got both blades (19" and 24") for 40 something bucks shipped. imo they are well worth the money.

I went with PIAAs and they work like a charm (they look cool too with the little spoiler on them!).

Have used Bosch for quite a few years, but just took them off the TL (at least for winter...but prob won't go back). I've found that the pressure points on Bosch's frame aren't in the right place to keep all parts of the blade hitting the window. I had the same prob with a completely different car too -- mostly on the outter edge of the passenger side. Another brand cleared that up. Aren't happy with Bosch's performance in winter either --- they lose flexibilty pretty easily and then leave patches that don't clear (front defroster usually helps with this, but it's annoying!).

So what brand did you end up using?
