Description
Valeo First VF48 – wiper blade, 480 mm long, featuring a frame construction.
Enjoy ultimate visibility all year long with the VF48 windshield wiper blade — built to stand up to heavy rain, icy sleet, snow flurries, and extreme temperatures effortlessly.
The windshield wiper features a durable alloy structure with multi-pivot joints, engineered for even pressure distribution on curved glass. The high-grade polymer wiping edge is firmly anchored in a metal groove, delivering a consistent sweep across the arc. User-friendly blade swaps and multi-vehicle fitment make it a cost-effective choice for older models. It boasts 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.
