Valeo80018191S SWF 18" and 19" European Wiper Blade (Pack of 2)

Easy as 1,2,3 to install. We replaced these wiper's on our 2006 Mini S. We use this vehicle for towing with our Class A RV.

I have a 2004 MINI Cooper and I have tried a number of high-end wipers, including Bosch, Rain-X and Aero and none of them properly fit the contour of the windshield on the passenger side. Most did not due a great job at cleaning after a very short time. All of them were plastic. These Valeo wipers, on the other hand, perfectly match the contour of the windshield on both the driver and passenger side. They maintain complete contact with the windshield throughout the entire sweep. There's no chatter, squealing or streaking. Except for the blade itself, the construction is all metal. They are light and sturdy. Plus the driver's side wiper has the air foil just like the one on the factory wipers. This no doubt keeps the wipers on the glass while traveling at high speed. Since I just installed them I don't know how long they will last. But all the other brands I've used lasted about 6 months. The only slightly negative thing I can say is that the installation instructions are very small and printed on the box (as opposed to being printed on a sheet of paper, in greater than 1 point font. The illustrations make the process look more complicated than installation actually is. Unless this is the first time changing your wipers, none of that should matter. In any case, installation is very easy and is sufficiently covered in the MINI Owner's Manual.

My pre-owned MINI Cooper's blades were leaving streaks, particularly on the driver side, to the point where my vision of the road was dangerously obstructed by rain, snow, and grime that wouldn't wash off when using wiper fluid.Having never replaced blades before (first car), installation instructions that were on the the back of the box could have been a little clearer. There were no instructions for removing the existing ones, so I turned to Google and a lot of trial and error. Putting the new ones on is slightly difficult to discern from the handful of diagrams. I imagine if there were at least my second time, I'd have figured things out immediately. So this is a nitpick.That said, once you get it, you get it. The blades helpfully snap/click into place by sliding them into position, in such a way that installing them e.g. upside down is not easy to do, as you can tell the blades are not secure.These blades are a perfect fit for my (March) 2004 MINI Cooper and leave no streaks (obviously; being new). The blades being metal as opposed to plastic fit better with the original aesthetic of my MINI and the wiper arms themselves than the blades replaced did. Driver's side blade has a spoiler, where as passenger side does not. (Allegedly these are how OEM blades look? I wouldn't know.)

Wipers were an identical t match for OEM 2003 R53 Mini Cooper S. Passenger side was good, driver's side has a gap in the rubber that leaves a streak. UGH

They keep the original look of mi mini Cooper

I own a 07 Mini Cooper S and these are the best wipers I've used for it, whether it's rain, mist or even snow. Great fit and easy to install..

My preferred brand for Wipers. Used them on my vehicles.

I have a 2013 Mini Clubman. All of the sites told me that this was the wrong type blade, as it has a "j-hook" and not the standard "bayonet" . I don't know if the arms were changed out after it left the factory, or what, but if you have the "j-hook" type, this is the correct type. I ordered the others without looking, and they were much flimsier and didn't have the OEM airfoil. These are much sturdier, were exceptionally easy to install (if you watch the video) and fit perfectly. It's a rainy day, so I took them for a spin, and they worked perfectly.
