Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Volvo
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
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
Got Michelin wipers from Costco, seemed good deal but performed poorly out of the box.
Pros: good deal
Cons: performed poorly
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
