FOR YOUR INFORMATION VALEO SILENCIO ® WIPERS The Valeo Silencio ® range has recently been redeveloped to make an extensive range of OE quality wipers all produced within the EU. The new logo and packaging offers a sleeker, more innovative design for stronger branding on the shelf. The full range includes conventional, flat, hybrid and rear blades. Better than the Original The new VisioRubber Technology on Silencio ® Flat Blades offers better immediate wiping quality and wiping performance over time, as tested and approved by TÜV. The specially developed bi-material rubber is not only more flexible without negatively impacting wiping quality, but also reduces stock management costs through smart standardisation. Silencio ® Flat Blades feature the same asymmetrical spoiler as original equipment wipers. They are quick and simple to fit, taking approximately 30 seconds. New Design, Same High Standards Valeo wiper blades are still 100% designed, manufactured and packed in Europe to ensure a high level of quality is maintained. They undergo a wide variety of assessments including mud, snow, and endurance tests all to guarantee the best product for the end user. Available Now All parts are catalogued on the F:Drive and MAM Autocat and available from FPS via same/next-day delivery. For more information, please contact your local FPS representative.
