vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or VALEO
I agree, I run Valeo ones i buy from FCP, they are pretty good, factory style and fitment, plus they lasted me 3 years before i replaced them because they were making noisy glass farting sounds so i gave em the heave ho. I think the part that keeps em quiet is the slippery teflon-like coating that when they wear out they start making noise when the bare rubber starts to show. 3 years not bad on a $17 set, Ive had OEM Toyota ones on my 4Runner barely last me 10 months before getting super streaky or noisy.
Pros: factory style and fitment
Cons: making noisy glass sounds
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I bought my gen 3 the good michelin ones at my local wally world (said they would work for 2,000,000 swipes). Had them on for about 2 months now, and have to admit, they do a really good job.
Pros: do a really good job
I had issues with a couple different brands of premium wiper blades. I switched to cheapo Anco (I think) and Michelin and have better luck.
Pros: better luck
Cons: issues with premium
When it comes to buying OEM like wipers for my previous VWs, I always had good luck with Valeo brand wipers.
Pros: good luck with Valeo
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
Valeo (OEM to VW) on ECS Tuning, $30 USD for the set. Direct installation, no goofy adapters to mess with.
Pros: direct installation
Cons: goofy adapters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mine would squeak all the time if they were going just a bit faster than they needed to be. Crazy. Bought some Rain-X ones on Amazon and the issue has been fixed.
Pros: issue has been fixed
Cons: squeak all the time
I just got brand new Michelin ones from Costco too, they started streaking right away
Cons: started streaking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
