Valeo Wipers help

pcotangco · #1 08-29-2009, 11:15 AM

Any veleo user maybe can help me out. Just got the valeo wiper installed on my 06 X. They do work lovely but it has that squeeking sound when passing. I go soo annoyed and put the stock back in. Stock are whisper quiet. Any one had the same problem and if the fixed it? Any input please.

Thanks

Did you take off the wiper blade guide on the driver's side before installling the Valeos?

The MSG is reffering to a small PLASTIC GUIDE on the left WIPER arm... Did you removed it??? (it is needed only for classic wipers, not for the new style)...!!!

It is a main reason for squeking...

Yes I did. I am not having wiping issues. It seems to be wiping too good that its causing too much friction with the glass.

Yes I removed the plastic guide before I installed the valeos.

Any one had the same experience with the valeo? Installed on a 06. Removed the plastic guide on the drivers side and squeeks on the way down.
