Valeo Wiper Blades provide optimum visibility in all types of driving conditions. The Ultimate blade has a revolutionary flat blade design that is like a single piece of rubber unlike the other blades that have two pieces of rubber glued together. This blade offers you the quietest performance with no vibration or chatter because of the patented 1,500 pressure points on the blade when moving across the windshield versus a conventional blade with only 4 to 8 pressure points. The blade is easy to install and fits most vehicles.

Ultra-Flat Profile

The even blade-to-windshield pressure distribution is a result of the integrated flexors. Enjoy optimum visibility along with best-in-class aerodynamics thanks to the integrated windspoiler and ultra-flat design.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2004 Prius, January 26, 2009

This review is from: Valeo 900-26-1B All-Season ULTIMATE Wiper Blade - 26" (Misc.)

I have had these on my car since Oct. 2007 and now, Jan. 2009, I am just now having to replace them. The auto selector on the Amazon site says that these don't fit on the Prius, but I can assure you they do. I recommend the 26" for the driver side, and 17" for the passenger, as the 18" reaches the very end of the glass on the windshield.

This review is from: Valeo 900-26-1B All-Season ULTIMATE Wiper Blade - 26" (Misc.)

I purchased my first pair for my 2005 Nissan Murano when I first bought the SUV. Not only does it work better than the OEM wipers, it also looks better. They lasted 2 years, recently replaced them. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

4.0 out of 5 stars works great in winter weather, February 24, 2008

By 

C. Starling (Boone, Iowa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Valeo 900-26-1B All-Season ULTIMATE Wiper Blade - 26" (Misc.)

Bought a pair for my 2005 Nissan Maxima SE to replace the OE blades. These blades work great, especially in freezing rain, slushy snow and just general winter driving conditions. Only reason I don't give this set a 5 star is due to a small streak left on the very lowest part of my windsheild whenever the precipitation stops and I still have the wipers running (they don't take off the salt solution as well as the actual precip, in other words).

Otherwise, very happy so far!
