Valeo or Bosch Wiper Blades?
I cant decide between the two. From peoples expereince with these which is the better blade?
I'm buying a total of 4, two for the G and two for my Explorer.
Tirerack has a buy one get one free on the Valeos, total with shipping works out to roughly $92CDN for ALL 4.
Local shop has the Bosch Icons, $126CDN ALL 4, personally i think thats wayyy too much. the 26" for the driver side is $38.70 alone!!

So for some reason on the tirerack website it wont let you select the Valeo blades for the G37, I sent an e-mail to Tirerack, here was their response:
"The Valeo blades are not available for your G37, that is why you don't see a fitment listed. The blade mounting style is different than the Valeo design, or the PIAA that we also offer for that matter. Sorry, we don't carry a blade that fits the G."
Can someone tell me whats going on?

26" and 17" are correct. Just put new Bosch Icons on my G yesterday and we've had a good 2 days of rain and they're working great! Anyways, so when I bought them, the guy at Advance Auto Parts insisted they wouldn't fit and wanted to try to put them on....so we went out to my G, and I took the driver's side blade off....and then he tried putting the new one on...BACKWARDS. LOL. It was hard to keep from laughing. Then he says "yep, i didn't think they'd fit." So, I said "well, let me try"....had it on in 3 seconds. He was pretty damn embarrassed. Here's the kicker....before all of this happened, he tells me he used to work at Harper Infiniti (where I bought my G coupe). LMAO!!! You can't pay for that kinda entertainment!!!
