vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I've recently put the Michelin Costco wipers on and they're great! These cost me CAD $10 per front blade.
Pros: great wipers
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I am a fan of Michelin wiper blades
Pros: liked them
The best experience I have made with the original wipers. I know, they are dearer than those in the aftermarket, but at least they clean 2 years without squeaking, skipping and so on. Those from the Mk4s can also be used on the Mk3.
Pros: clean 2 years without squeaking, no skipping
Cons: dearer than aftermarket
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
On my way to work I had the wipers on at low speed. When I came to a stop light the engine stopped and the wipers switched to intermittent automatically. When the engine re-started, they went back to low speed.
Pros: wipers switch to intermittent
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I have only purchased the OEM blades for my '15 and have no complaints. They are streak free, work well at speed and last a long time (I change mine about every 6-8 months)
Pros: streak free, work well

OE Blade pair can be had here for $37.44 http://1stvwparts.com/2016-volkswag...transaxle_automatic_dual_clutch_trans_speeds-oem-oem-wip._blade_5GM998002-item/
Pros: available for $37.44

Id agree w/GINCH- the OE blades are really nice, albeit pricey perhaps vs the other brands. I get 8-12 months out of a set, no hassle fitment etc etc. Complain loudly enough about the price and my dealer will take 15% off MSRP, which is essentially a garage keepers discount.
Pros: really nice, no hassle fitment
Cons: pricey
Maybe the wipers at your Costco are better than where I am...the Michelin ones I got this Fall only went about 6 weeks before they started streaking and chattering. Agree the price is great but I definitely think the Bosch replacements are far better in performance and longevity.
Pros: great price
Cons: streaking and chattering
i got some Michelins from Costco and they’re dog shit
Cons: dog shit
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
