vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or VALEO
I went with a pair of Michelin Radius blades from Menards. They were $15 apiece and thus far with all this salty crap being thrown up from the roads here in Indiana...they're doing quite well.
Pros: doing quite well
Michelin Endurance XT are the first replacement wipers I've tried that don't suck for my 2016 Mazda CX-5.
Pros: don't suck, work properly
Vehicle:
Mazda
Michelin Stealth Ultra Wiper Blade it adapts to the contour of your Windshield.
Pros: adapts to windshield contour
I am a big fan of the Valeo 900 and I find them to last longer than the Bosch
Pros: last longer
After getting tired of constantly replacing the Bosch 19" wiper refills I tried the Valeo 800 series 19" wiper blades. These are much improved and last a lot longer than the Bosch refills.
Pros: much improved, last longer
We dont need new wipers on Tiguan yet but I have been always buying Valeo OE wipers for my CC. I also dont like bulky adapters they fit just like factory.
Pros: fit just like factory
Cons: bulky adapters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Michelin brand wipers are good, the RainX ones seemed to not last long for me.
Pros: Michelin wipers good
Cons: RainX not last long
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
My OEM wipers were TERRIBLE. Worse OEM wipers ever. Got the Michelin wipers from Costco on sale... EVEN WORSE than OEM!! But I will admit, they are much better now about a year after installing them.
Pros: much better now
Cons: worse than OEM
just changed out the wiper blades on my 2004 Dodge Stratus SE and was surprised to see the new Michelin Optimum + blades missing a spot about the size of a fist in the middle of the passenger blade towards the end of its arc. I adjusted the blades, repositioned them, took them on and off, but nothing. I wound up putting on my old pair of blades, some Rain-X not sure what model, and even with some streaks no missed spots.
Cons: missing spot in arc
Vehicle:
Dodge Stratus
yea dude....those wipers are just junk, they're RUBBER not silicone, those rubber ones will wear out in just 1 season while Bosch icon ones are great.
Pros: Bosch icon ones are great
Cons: wipers are junk, wear out
