vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Volvo
I use Michelin Guardian + for driver side 26” ( which is really 65cm or roughly 25.15 inches and not a true 26”) and 16” (45cm or roughly 15.7inches which again isn’t a true 16”) for pas lol.
Pros: good fit
Cons: not true size
The cheapest Michelin ones from wal mart have performed best for me. For WAY less money
Pros: performed best, less money
They have worked extremely well on my wife’s Tucson. I change the blades yearly even though the old blades are still pretty good.
Pros: worked extremely well, still pretty good
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
Never had any streaking, catching, or quality issues with the Michelin blades.
Pros: no quality issues
Vehicle:
Nissan Maxima
I’ve had good luck at Walmart with the Michelin and Rain-x brands having the correct adapter
Pros: correct adapter
Replaced the blades and nothing changed. Got through one winter of ridiculous streaking and brought the issue up again with the dealer. They replaced both wipers fully under warranty and in rain the streaking is gone.
Pros: streaking is gone
Cons: ridiculous streaking
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
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
