I have had excellent experiences buying the Michelin brand beam-style wiper blades on sale at Costco. Decent prices and the wipers do an excellent job. I replace mine every 15-18 months.
Rainx latitude wipers. 100%
I just bought some RainX Latitudes and they fit without any modifications.
Bought mine from costco. If was $8 each after $3 discount. Don't know how it compares with other wipers but it's much better than the wipers the car came with. No noise.
I'm in the souther interior of BC and I'm finding the Costco Michelins to be much better than the stock VW for about half the price.
Rain X work well too, but, well, this is going to sound weird, they’re ugly.
I purchased Michelin Optimum+ Ceramic Beam 26”/16” just the other day. I chose them because I wanted ceramic silicone and the Michelin were a great price at $15 each. After putting the “right” adapter on that fit the button hole, that’s when I found out that the Trax’s wiper arm isn’t the correct length for these blades. The space between the button hole and the end is really small whereas the bracket on the blade and the photo in the instruction pamphlet show that the space should be over 1” to accommodate most of the bracket. The blade “fit” and snapped in, but I could tell it wasn’t right. There was too much play and the arm could separate from the blade by just bending the blade. Also the Trax’s arm is curved on the bottom, fitting perfectly into the OEM blades. Michelin’s website said that the 26” blade would fit. Oddly though, it said the passenger side was 14” instead of 16”.
I tried the Michelins from Costco one time. They streaked and chattered on the first use.
I have a Blazer EV and the OEM wipers were garbage. I live in Florida and do RainX wipers and washer fluid; when the windshield is properly treated with RainX, I usually don't even have to turn the wipers on.
Same here. A few years ago I thought they were a great deal. Now they are both worth installing. Just pay a bit more for another brand.
