Same, new design made squeals

Mine were skipping on the windshield literally on day 1. Thought I dreamed changing them out. They were WORSE brand new than the old pair was used.
Yup, they were absolute garbage for me. Mine tore off (the top part) during a heavy rainstorm on my way to the USA.
I noticed the same issue with my wipers. I bought them in April, and they\u2019ve been pretty terrible. I thought I might have just received a defective set. They left a weird black residue on my hands after installation\u2014my hands looked like I\u2019d just come from a hard day at the auto shop. To top it off, they also leave a 4-inch wide streak on the driver\u2019s side!
I have the previous version of these Michelin wipers on the driver side and the new one on the passenger side of my wives car. Had it for a couple of months. I haven't noticed an issue, but the build is worse. It's going to get wrecked by ice buildup whereas the previous model had beefier design. The new mounting clip also wasn't as good, but it worked well enough.
I bought some a few months ago back in March give or take. I expected them to at least make it to the winter. They smear so badly now in the rain I was just talking about replacing them with my partner. I should get at least six months out of wiper blades.
I bought a set and the one snapped on me five minutes into the first time using it.
The latest version released this past winter is complete garbage. I have two cars and I bought new wipers for both. I had to return one set because they left a 4 inch wide streak in the middle of the drivers side, and now about a month later they both leave streaks and smears on both cars. Tried cleaning the wipers and washing the glass and they still suck badly.
I use Michelin Guardian + for driver side 26” ( which is really 65cm or roughly 25.15 inches and not a true 26”) and 16” (45cm or roughly 15.7inches which again isn’t a true 16”) for pas lol.
I did NOT like those wipers. They always made noise when in use. They didn’t operate smoothly and chattered/skipped when almost vertical. Pay the extra money for rainx wipers.
