As part of Valeo’s Ultimate Beam Original Specific product line, the 18SN is built around OEM-style fitment and a beam design that maintains even contact across the windshield.

What It Helps Address

• Streaking on the windshield from a worn wiping edge
• Skipping or chatter during wiper operation
• Poor contact caused by an incorrect blade length or connector
• Reduced wiping performance on the front right side
• Replacement needs for a damaged or aging beam blade assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and front right position before ordering. Match the Side Lock Narrow connector to the existing wiper arm, and verify the 18-inch blade length against the application listing. The included mounting hardware supports installation, but the blade should still be checked for secure engagement after mounting.
