I saw on tirerack.com that they sell the Valeo Ultimate Wiper Blade. This appears to be identical to the factory front wiper blades. They are on sale for $20 each with a buy one get one free. They also have a 16 inch rear one but I don't know if it will fit our LR3's. I googled Valeo and saw it on other sites also. I think I'm just going to buy the PIAA Super Silicone blades myself, but if anybody buys the Valeo one, please report back to the list.

Has anyone had luck talking to a dealer about this? its not good when the wiper blades on a $57K LR# sounds worse than a cheap rental hyundai..I have to imagine there is a solution. This cant be something that cant be solved.

I purchased a set of blades from Tire Rack for my 2006 LR-3. They are horrible. The don't conform to the curvature of the windshield. They're headed for the trash as soon as a get a chance to buy some decent blades.

I actually went to a diff dealer. The service writer said that the blades get dried out sitting on the lot before the car is sold. Thats actually plausable. They replaced them and its been very quiet since when using them. I learned my lesson the hard way several years ago with my Disco II, getting third party blades put on. Never do that again

I have a LR3 2006 same problem with the noisy blades and dealer will do nothing. New Land Rover blades very expensive and only sold in pairs.

We sell single wiper blades all the time.
Someone makes a replacement blade, Bosch I think, that doesn't have the squeaky problem and the newer OEM blades that came out in the last few months don't seem to do it either.

I brought my 06 LR3 into the dealer and they replaced the blades-after that no problems. Was told it was due to the blades drying out. Made sense and the dealer should just replace them. I guess some dealers want new and continuing business and others dont give a _____. Simple steps can keep customers. Heck i have referred 2 Ranger Rover purchasers so far and one more pending. I will be on my third purchase in a few months all from the same dealer. Pisses me off when i hear dealers treating their customers poory over a few hundred dollars or less.

Wiper won't stop...

Hello,
I have a 2006 LR3 whose rear wiper will not stop. It appears to be stuck at the intermittent mode. It's been annoying, to say the least. Any tips?
