vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Subaru
Reviews
They’re Michelins. Work great.
Pros: work great
Settled on Michelins and quite happy with them tbh. I'd even argue the current Michelins are better than the old, better bosch wipers.
Pros: quite happy, better than Bosch
Vehicle:
Peugeot 308
I’m running Michelins from Costco in my ‘22 Wilderness.
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I don't own a Subaru anymore but I had a Forrester for about five years and I never found offbrand replacements that really worked… I ended up going to my dealer and buying the replacements there… They were expensive but they always seem to work right…
Pros: worked right
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
After years of trying to remedy my poor wipers on my XV I swapped to single peice after market assembly and have never looked back.
The windscreen wipes smear free.
Pros: wipes smear free
Cons: OEM ones worn out
Vehicle:
Subaru XV
I bought some new Michelin Guardian Hybrid wiper blades the other day at Costco. The passenger side blade works perfectly however the blade on the drivers side it seems the tip of it (8-10 inches or so) is not making contact with the windshield. It leaves a triangle shape at the bottom center of the windshield and it also doesn't clear off other water that it should be clearing from the passenger blade so it just runs down. I am 99% sure I have the right size for my 07 Accord - Driver side 26 & passenger 18.
Pros: passenger side works perfectly
Cons: driver side not making contact, leaves triangle shape, doesn't clear water
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Same, new design made squeals
Cons: 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.
Cons: skipping on the windshield
Yup, they were absolute garbage for me. Mine tore off (the top part) during a heavy rainstorm on my way to the USA.
Cons: absolute garbage, tore off
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!
Cons: pretty terrible, black residue
