Wiper Blade Review!

[The_Stig]

Hey guys

Over the weekend i took a trip to cosco and bought those new michelin wiper blades. They are like the flat audi style but universal for any car. Wow do they work fantastic! install was a quick snap and i have never had wiper blades that work so good! ONly 14 bucks each. Just thought i would let you boys know!

I had those on both my jetta & the wife's Pacifica.

I dont know what it is, but the ones on my jetta only lasted through the winter while the ones on the Pacifica are still great.

I replaced the wipers on the Jetta with Bosch Icons. So far they are the best I have had.

I bought the same style "Rain-X" brand from Walmart about 6 months ago, THE BEST wipers I have evar had. They were only like, $13 bucks each or something.

I tried those Trico Inovision blades (the single solid piece of rubber) and they were just useless. I had to bail on them after a week.

OEM blades are like 5 dollars more than the inserts we used to have to buy so I just buy a set of those each year.

I picked up the Bosch AeroTwin wipers for the Smart and they are way way better then the stock ones, but a little pricey but so is everything for a Smart.

I have a feeling that with the flexible blade wipers, the amount of pressure that the arm is pushing them down with REALLY will change their effectiveness.

I have found that with Costco ones they did not really fit the contour of the windsheild and the passenger side did not clean well at the margins due to a lack of pressure on the edge.

I do prefer these though. I used to run winter blades with the rubber boot, but they were always lifting at highway speeds.

So far I have been really pleased with the Bosch Icon blades.
