Michelin Wiper Blades at Costco

[RamFan]

Costco has Michelin blades on sale again. $7.99 for a a pretty decent beam blade is hard to pass up on.

I tried them a couple times, never had great results regarding streaking and chatter.

The best I have used are the Bosch Icon and now the Bosch Envision. Yup, they are a lot more $$ but for me like many things the performance/safety is worth it on certain things.

I'd pass!!!! We got them for all our vehicles. Already three is doing the streaking and chattering as Sequiasoon mentioned. I've debated trying to get my money back. Never had a pair of wipers last a month.

I used them on several vehicles, always had good results with them. They arent the Uber premium wipers but for the price theyre hard to beat.

I had some they didnt last real good. (maybe 3month over winter?)

Just go rockauto esp. if you need 3-4 pairs for different vehicles.

I've been using Trico for almost 40 years now. Streak-free and no chatter. Both pair on our Hyunkias' currently are two years old and worn for 12-14K..... counting two winters with occassional blade stickin' to ice on the windshield.

Most I ever paid were $18 a-piece. Usually $15-$16 sales at Meijer. As low as $13 at rockauto.

The set I bought didn't fit the arms.

I've tried various Michelin wipers (beam, hybrid and conventional) and never had good luck with them.

On my current and past Hondas I have found the OEM wiper inserts work great for me...Even the newer beam arm type can be changed....

I've always had Bosch blades wear out fairly quickly compared to in the past. PIAA blades are amazing but the blade is incredibly soft and I would assume that ice in the winter would chew them up.

Is this better then the refills from the oem? Usually priced about the same hence why I ask

I've found that you have to go on youtube to see how to install them. They give you a lot of adapters and lousy instructions. I've been using them on all my vehicles with no problems. Keep an extra set around.

 

[Rat407]

I tried them and didn't have any luck with them. I just stick to getting wipers at the dealer. They seem to last the longest for me.

Nice price on those. These are the wipers I've been using for the past 5ish years. Have them on 3 cars and haven't had a set yet that didn't last at least 2 years. Now they even come with a refill so you are getting 2 for 1 essentially. Run around $18 a pair.

Are Trico Gold's entry level or mid level. I noticed the Diamond's are about $15 higher a pair.

After buying OEM blades for my 4Runner I won't be going back to aftermarket blades. They just work.

This. Have a set on the Accord right now. The plastic bracket that is supposed to snap across the arm will not stay secure.

IMO Nope....

Go back to OEM and then just purchase the inserts...
