vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or VALEO
I just put some of the high end Michelins on ours. The OEM ones were absolutely garbage. They've been working great for months.
Pros: working great
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I bought a set of Michelin wipers from Amazon and they are really good
Pros: really good
If you're going with aftermarket go with Valeo brand it works better than 3M in budget range.
Pros: works better than 3M, budget friendly
I use the more expensive Michelin blades and they get me through hurricane season just fine.
Pros: get me through hurricane season
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
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
Using a place like fcpeuro.com to get your OE original parts and then either learning or getting someone else to changer wipers (valeo brand) on b service
Pros: OE original parts
Experience with Bosch wipers has been hit and miss, however I can vouch for Valeo. They make loads of bits for cars, not just wipers, and are often the go-to brand for important, expensive parts.
Pros: go-to brand
Cons: hit and miss
Vehicle:
Peugeot
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
