Wiper blades MICHELIN or Denso
I am a fan of Michelin wiper blades
Pros: liked them
Denso, work pretty well
Pros: work pretty well
Denso Designer hybrid low-profile frame wipers. The Denso wipers are what came OEM on my 2009 Subaru Forester and they just work great and last. They also look great on cars that have the traditional hook attachment. You don't get that big center block with extraneous mounting holes. The wiper sits flush with the arm. I've used them on a Miata, a Mazda 2, an Odyssey, and a '97 Accord.
Pros: work great, last long, look great, sit flush
Vehicle:
Mazda 2
I invested in some new wiper blades... michelin stealth... They work so nicely, and so quiet! Also look way better than OEM.
Pros: work nicely, very quiet, look better than OEM
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Part number: STEALTH
After trying a lot of different blades over the years, these days I order Denso Designer blades for all my cars from Rockauto (not affiliated, just a fan). They were OEM on my '09 Subaru Forester and they work great and last a long time.
Pros: work great, last long
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
My favorites are the Michelin Stealth blades. I've never had them ice up and streak.
Pros: never ice up, no streak
Anyway, got Denso replacement wipers and they're working really well so far. Denso 160-3124 and 160-3118 are the part numbers in case you look into them, 18\" passenger and 24\" driver
Pros: working really well
Part number: 160-3124, 160-3118
PSA: don’t get the Michelin blades sold at Costco. They fit fine in the arm but they seem to be taller and the wiper arms do not fit under the hood when turned off and hit the hood.
Pros: fit fine in arm
Cons: hit the hood
Got Michelin wipers from Costco, seemed good deal but performed poorly out of the box.
Pros: good deal
Cons: performed poorly
2006 NC miata. Just replaced my wipers from whatever the previous owner had on them. Got 18 inch michelins, but I noticed this gap where the wiper doesn’t rest on the glass.
I’m pretty sure I finally managed to install correctly. But maybe not?
FWIW, assuming it’s not my faulty installation, this gap did not exist with the old wipers.
Cons: leaves gap on glass
Vehicle:
Mazda
