Description
Measuring 550 mm, the Valeo TIR TIR 551 incorporates a frame-style assembly.
TIR 551 provides universal, year-round durability—clearing away sleet, blizzard conditions, and road debris for a spotless windshield on every drive.
This replacement blade delivers a sturdy steel skeleton with flexible rocker arms, designed to assure precise downforce on curved glass. The natural rubber wiping edge is securely bonded in a precision slot, delivering a streak-free clean across the arc. User-friendly blade swaps and universal compatibility make it a cost-effective choice for older models. It delivers a durable galvanized frame that resists corrosion and mechanical wear, a multi-pivot action that adapts to complex windshield curves and a simple rubber refill system that extends service life while reducing total cost of ownership. However, exposed hinges may freeze and clog with dirt during winter, at high speeds it can experience wind lift and increased noise, and natural rubber wears faster in sunlight whereas polymer composites command a higher price. Periodically clean and lubricate the hinges with a silicone spray every three to six months and replace the wiping edge every six to twelve months (or every four to six months in harsh climates). Perfect for mild weather, daily commuting and economical drivers, this blade ensures dependable performance, clear visibility and lasting value at an affordable price.
