Default Aero Wipers Worth it?

Need to upgrade wipers, as mine don't last long so I would at least upgrade driver's wiper arm as well. After STFA, there are a few mixed opinions on Aero Wiper Arms. Anyone recommend/disavow said arm/blade kit?


BTW, I love how this is one of my biggest problems now

Default Yep, just ordered my second set from Tire Rack yesterday.

Mine kind of fell apart (tip came off of one) a week ago. Not too happy about that, as they otherwise still work like new. I've had them for 19 months. Other inserts in the OEM blades would normally last just a few months. Over that 19 months I drove about 35,000 miles.
Yeah, they're expensive, but the durability relative to regular blades allows me to justify $50 for a set of wiper blades. The do really work better, too.

Default I don't see the Valeo Aero on the Tire Rack website?

The only Valeo blades I see are "Valeo Ultimate."
