Default who makes the OEM Wiper Blades? Bosch or Valeo
Does anyone know who makes the OEM wiper blades? Some say Bosch and some say Valeo. I just want the quiet and effective blades that came with the car. I know the stealership has them but they only see a part number.

Years? You guys get years out of a set?

I buy the Bosch kit off Amazon, and I am replacing them every 6 to 8 months. But, I do drive 36,000 miles per year?

Given that I've driven my /15 3.0T 32,000 miles in 3.5 years I'd say our wiper blade consumption is about the same. LOL. Happy New Year!

Visited my sister in Colorado, she has my old Audi, the wipers were a mess. Clean the shield, then a quick wipe along the wiper edge back and forth, with windshield fluid and towel, restored them to "work well".

Went online and ordered new for her anyway.

On my car, I change every six months.

I typically get 2 years out of the OEM wipers I get at the dealer.
