vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or Goodyear
I just get the Goodyear replacements at Costco as needed without any issues or modification.
Pros: no issues, no modification
I have the Michelin stealth (we just started selling them) and I like them better than the rain x beam blade wipers, they seem to go longer without streaking.
Pros: no streaking, better performance
The Michelin Stealth are quite good.
The Rain-X wipers kind of suck however.
Pros: quite good
Cons: Rain-X wipers suck
Used them before and they are pretty good, and for the price you cant beat it..
Pros: pretty good, great price
They fit perfectly - the only aftermarket sets I've used that fit both my B6 and the wifes B5 - they seem to work well so far.
Pros: fit perfectly, work well
Costco has goodyear aero wipers for $8 that worked excellently on my old GTI. They aren't the exact same size as the OEM ones, but they work great and lasted longer.
Pros: work great, lasted longer
Cons: not exact same size
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Not sure all brands quality, but I've had worst experience in Goodyear one.
Cons: worst experience
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
Once I put the Michelin on I started getting blade chatter. Annoying
Cons: blade chatter
One day when driving on the Tollway in Chicago in light rain, I noticed one wiper blade starting to come off the arm. When I got home I discovered that the push-in clip was not holding the wiper with enough force to keep it in place. In my opinion, the manufacturing of the clip was not nearly as good as that of the OEM and could not be trusted.
Cons: clip design flawed
