Wiper blades OEM Mazda or VALEO

Then, I'd recommend swapping your blades over to these from Valeo: Pay no attention to the Amazon listing for size/compatibility - VM387 is specifically for Golf MK7 models. I went through multiple types and brands of wiper blades years ago trying to solve chattering/skipping issues and these have proven to be the best quality, smoothest, and longest lasting by far.

I've been buying Valeo blades from rockauto for awhile...they seem to last

As for the wipers, i got Valeo from RockAuto for all 3 and they work great a year later still.

Buy new ones. I replace mine about twice a year.

Thanks for sharing this info, OP. I went with Valeos for my last change. Good blade, but I've been unhappy with the bright white logo at the corner. Looks like the Otto logo is more subdued.

Use iso alcohol on a microfiber towel, wipe the windscreen/back window and the wiper blades with it, then take off the excess and dry with another one.

Then use a glass cleaner+fresh microfiber to clean the windscreen, and wipe the wiper blades(all 3).

I have them on the wagen right now and they're great, but I am not a fan of Valeo's aggressive logo stamping - there is a white logo on the edge of each blade that's a bit gaudy.

Experience with Bosch wipers has been hit and miss, however I can vouch for Valeo. They make loads of bits for cars, not just wipers, and are often the go-to brand for important, expensive parts.

I have bought a pair of Valeo's that made me feel like I was on the beach, from all the seagull-like squeaking.

I hope others read this and follow suit. The Valeo OEM ones are so superior to the aftermarket Bosch ones. Even brand new, Bosch are rubbish.
