The Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade, selected as standard equipment by many OEMs
worldwide, combines an aerodynamic, low profile with more than 1,500
continuous contact points for improved performance compared to standard or
conventional wiper blades. Designed for all-weather/winter use, there are no
frame joints or other components that could freeze or become clogged with
ice or snow limiting foul weather performance.
When you use the Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade you can expect:
.
All-weather/winter design offers resistance to cold weather conditions, no
icing (metal parts perform better over the plastic parts used in other wiper
blade designs)
.
High quality performance at all speeds, in all conditions
.
Revolutionary aerodynamic design with reduced vibration and judder
.
Enhanced aero-acoustics for low wind noise
.
User-friendly lock/unlock provided by unique blade attachment
.
Ultra flat blade for improved driver visibility
To create uniform wiping pressure across the entire length of the blade for
optimal windshield contact, Valeo's Research and Development Center
developed breakthrough Flat Blade Technology. This technology results in a
very efficient, ultra-flat wiper blade. An integrated, wind lift spoiler
combines with the blade's aerodynamic low profile to help it maintain
contact with the windshield to improve visibility, even at higher speeds. In
fact, Valeo's European test center speed rated the blades to more than 140
mph.
The Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade also utilizes Tec-3 Technology:
.
Rubber wiping element combines synthetic and natural rubber with a patented,
bonded protective coating
.
Synthetic rubber upper body provides resistance to permanent set deformity
in high temperatures and a superior wipe in all temperatures
.
Natural rubber wiping edge provides improved wiping quality and is flexible
in cold conditions
.
Protective coating reduces chatter and squeaking noise during the life of
the blade and makes them last longer than standard blades
The Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade is designed to fit most vehicles and its
user-friendly design helps to ensure quick and easy installation.
