Choice of window wipers

Been looking at replace mine as the rubbers are splitting and they are as noisy as hell!!

Read in a few places that There are some wipers called valeo's that far exceed the lifespan of oem. Does anybody have these? Also I've seen the fronts are 22" what is the size of the rear? RRS Dynamic

Valeo are a multinational company that makes lots of replacement and aftermarket stuff. Everything from wipers to brakes.

I have found the OEM wipers to be fine and no worse than any others e.g. Halfords, Bosch. I tend to change my wiper blades well before they split - about every 3 months or so. But I can't stand a dirty or smeary windscreen so maybe that's just me. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I've just bought some, the only ones Halfords supply that fit are their own brand ones @ £25 /pair - Bosch by special order.

What I cannot fathom is how to lift the front wiper arms up enough to change the blades over, they refuse to hinge up past about 20mm!! Any ideas anyone?! - Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE G4 Challenge vehicle (FOR SALE)
