I was disappointed with these wipers. The wipers did not sweep the edges of the windshield and left streaks in the drivers view. I actually put on the year old Trico wipers that these replaced back on after using these for only a couple of months.

Bought these when they were buy one get one free as we needed new wiper blades and go threw them fairly quickly where we live. Have had these for over a month and although we have not had any major snow storms yet, they have worked great so far with the rain and snow it has had to push. They look a lot sleeker than the ones you normally buy and where a breeze to snap onto place.

This review is from: Valeo U-20 Gen2 Premium All-Season Bracketless Wiper Blade - 20", Pack of 1 (Automotive)

The blades do not have the consistant presure points across the whole length as advertised. They were installed on both Toyora Camry and Pontiac Transport. In both cases, I can see that the two ends of the blades do not touch the windshield at all. It is not as good as a normal multipoint presure blade. When thinking deeper, I can undertand the design flaw: This blade has only one presure point at the middle of the blade. The presure at the middle makes the two extreme end of the blade bend upward making them lose contact with the windshield. In contrast, a normal blade is more flexible with multiple presure points making the whole length contacting the windshield. I will not recommend this product.
