Default Replacing wiper blades with Valeo

I wanted to check if the Valeo-600 wiper blades will fit the Civic off the bat or is there some sort of an in-between adapter that's necessary?

thanks

yup looks like it would fit right out of the box

why not get blades from local auto parts store or target or walmart, might be cheaper

i doubt that it would be cheaper since the good ones are at least $15
next time im just going to get OEM ones at the dealer they're $20 each but i bought the best ones at walmart at $18 each and they still squeak and squeal
idk just my experience....

not sure if this info is correct but I've been hearing that Valeo are not usually available at retail locations. I didn't see them at Autozone that i know

thanks much!

I've never tried them myself but from my research i know that they're supposed to be matching the expensive ones in quality but not in the $$$ part

Lot of consumer price rape takes place at the register (retail level) so an expensive product does not automatically mean good it just means expensive.

I'll get them some time soon and report after heavy rains
