Valeo Wiper Blades

[FlyinLo]

Who has these blades?
How are they?

I'm thinking about picking up a set.

Also, has anyone replaced their rear WK wiper blade yet? Is it different from replacing a normal windshield blade? Mine is starting to streak, time to replace it

How do you replace the wipers? I can't figure out that stupid little attacher thing. I'm pushing 18 months with the same wipers and they're bruised badly. I am going to look into the Valeos, but I need to ditch the stock ones first.

[FlyinLo]

New blades should have instructions.

You've never replaced wiper blades before?

[blackattack182]

I've replaced them on my other car, but not the Jeep yet. I looked on the back of the Rain-X blades that I bought, but I can't figure out how to get these off. It seems pretty stupid; these are the kinds of things that should be easy. I swap wheels, black out tail lights, install bulbs, and all this other goofy stuff, yet these blades are my kryptonite.

I hope Jeep didnt' put some screwed up connections on their wipers so we have to go to the dealer. I'll check them out later before I order these Valeos

For the summer time i put PIAA super sporza carbon fiber blade's on
they gave the truck a nice look. now that the winter is back around i put the stock ones back on

The rear wiper looks like a pain in the ass to change. when you take it off the, half the wiper arm comes off and i think you just replace the rubber

Yeah, I messed with the rear blade tonight. You squeeze two tabs and pull the blade and half the arm right off. Not quite sure how to chnage the blade or where to get a replacement.

Just throwing it out there... really consider buying PIAA wiperblades....

Super Sporza Silicone ones are amazing.. no Autozone's "Bosch" could ever compare with them..

(Also do great in light snowy conditions)...

Don't they come with some kind of windshield treatment kit too, those PIAAs?

[TheBackRoads]

i use rain-x on my windshield and driver/passenger windows, that stuff is amazing, and whipe alittle across your wiper blades and your ready for anything.

My girlfriend got me some Valeos for Christmas.

She won't let me open them yet.

lol, FlyinLo, thats harsh... my mommy gave me the 4,000$ towards purchasing my jeep AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT (in august), so I could pay it off completely right away, because I couldnt finance it, w/o having SocialSecurity.., and I only had a little over 11,000$ in my bank......... But imagine if she said, ure not "Opening" it till christmas... haha.. i would have to do something drastic to her.. :D

My understanding is the rear wiper is not re-fillable. The 1/2 arm is replaceable only.

I guess I forgot to give you guys an update. I found 14" refills at AutoZone.
It had a little black plastic tab on the end that broke off fairly easily and they slipped into the stock wiper arm.
It was a two-pack "Anco" I think. I'll check when I get home and post up a pic or model #

I haven't replaced mine yet either! I really didn't use them much out in El Paso, TX. I probably need to replace mine too.
