Designed with a frame construction, the Valeo First VF51 spans 510 mm to secure even windshield contact.
Whether it’s sleet-covered streets or blistering summer afternoons, the VF51 windshield wiper blade keeps your windshield perfectly clean—and your drive safe.
This windshield wiper showcases a sturdy steel skeleton with multi-pivot joints, designed to assure even pressure distribution on curved glass. The natural rubber wiping edge is firmly anchored in a U-channel, delivering a consistent sweep across the arc. Refill-compatible design and universal compatibility make it a cost-effective choice for classic cars. It features 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 assures dependable performance, clear visibility and lasting value at an affordable price.
