Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blades (Hook-Lock)
Anyone have these? What the difference between these and the other Ultimate OE Wiper Blades (Top-Lock Gen I, Top-Lock Gen II, Side Lock)?
The Hook-Lock ones are currently $19.95, buy one get one free
by the way, both sides are 22" right?

Yes they are 22" hook lock. I bought 2 sets, the ones on the vette work fine but the ones i put on the Cadillac chattered on the drivers side. I put them on my daughters Monte Carlo and they worked fine. I then bought the Bosch equivilent at Wally World for $14 apiece and they work great on the Cadillac. Go figure.

I purchased these with the buy one get one free special for tire rack. I put them on my 99 Olds Silhouette, 2002 Olds Intrigue, and my sons Buick Century bomber. They all seem to work really great. I bought a set for my 2000 coupe but it is in bed for the winter so they will not go on till spring. I say they work great.

I think any of the new "beam" style blades look cleaner that the stock erector sets.
