vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or Denso
The wiper assembly on this car is one of the best of any car I’ve had. When the original blades started to get streaky, I did briefly try some michelin and rainx blades to replace the OEM blades, but found they were both a downgrade. Both were larger than OEM, which generated extra noise, and caught the wind when at speed so they would chatter and skip. Less than ideal especially in inclement weather.
I’ve been using OEM blades ever since. I typically replace the wiper blades in the fall, and then if I notice any issues with streaks in the spring I replace again.
This is my second winter with the car and OEM blades, and I’m not having any issues with the blades or fluid. If I do miss anything, the wipers and the winter fluid take care of the rest.
Pros: OEM: no issues, good performance
Cons: Michelin/RainX: noisy, chattered, skipped

They fit, but I bought Michelin wipers (made by Anco), and they work just as good as the Bosch.
Pros: work just as good
I have used the Michelin Wiper Blades from Costco and don\u2019t find anything wrong with them. I use them on 3 vehicles and get at least a year out of them. I think they are a great value.
Pros: great value
The OEM wipers weren’t great on my Taos. I had good luck with Michelin wipers from Costco and cheap (~5-7) Hella wipers from Rock Auto. I’ve also used Bosch and Valeo wipers from Amazon. There are so many different models it’s hard to recommend a single one. Most are good, even the cheaper ones.
Pros: good luck
Cons: OEM weren’t great

I got Denso's on Amazon. They are the OEM from what I understand. They fit to the windshield perfectly, and don't leave any streaks
Pros: perfect fit, no streaks
I only get a year out of the Costco Michelin blades. I bought some reflex ones from CT and they are far better. Still good after 14 months.
Pros: far better
Cons: only a year
I stopped buying their Michelin wipers when one fell off mid wipe after following their instructions to the last step.
Cons: fell off mid wipe
Those wiper blades are complete garbage imo.
Cons: complete garbage

Kakapalit ko lang po ng wiper blade ngayon. Pinainstall ko sa Blade Installer. Denso ung brand na binili ko. Nung tinesting ko ang ingay pa rin nya. Sabi ng installer possible sa windshield ko ang cause.
So paguwi, nilinisan ko kaagad ang windshield ko. Bumili rin ako ng wiper fluid. Ang ingay pa rin nya kahit naulan. Pangit lang po ba talaga tong nabili kong brand? NWB talaga binibili ko kaso walang stock kaya nag Denso ako.
Cons: maingay na operasyon
The Costco Michelin are garbage.
Cons: poor quality
