Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM BMW
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
My favorites are the Michelin Stealth blades. I've never had them ice up and streak.
Pros: never ice up, no streak
Michelin Stealth blades work well on Mk4s.
Pros: work well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I found direct replacements at Advance Auto...Michelene Ultra Stealths. Kind of pricey as I recall but I'm happy.
Pros: direct replacements, happy
Cons: kind of pricey
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
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
I got new wipers for the BMW. I paid a little over $100. BMW wanted to charge me $50 and told me it was a complex process. I said no, walked out and put them on in literally 1 minute.
Pros: easy to install
Cons: expensive, complex process
Vehicle:
BMW
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
