Anyone need wipers?

Tire rack has a deal going until the end of May 2007. Valeo Ultimate Wipers for $19.95 buy one get one free. Ground Shipping comes out to between $7-$10.
They look like the new Bosch Icon Wipers except at a cheaper price. They have good reviews too.
I figured i would pass this on to the fellow .orgers
Link below.

thanks for the heads up! I can't believe the size difference. Every place I go to has either the 24" or the 17" but not both at the same time.

With 74 hits somebody has to have bought some or looked into them. Any reviews from .org members who bought them?

This deal was going on for a while and I got them. The correct size is 26 and 17 but 18 also fits on the passenger side.
I'm using it for a month or two and I absolutely hate it. I used to have piaa silicone which was fine and this doesn't come close. It looks sleek and that's about it. I think the rubber blade material is not all that good even though it has some advantages in aerodynamics.
Silblade has similarly designed wiper with silicone blade. I might try them or I'll just go back to piaa silicone.

No thanks, I'll stick with my cheapies from Auto Zone for $17 for the pair. Those work well enough for me.

I'll be looking into these soon. I have the Rain-X ones, which I swear by, but I got a closer look to something similar: Bosch ICONs. So these are practically the same, and try them. If no good, back to Rain-X for me.
