Wiper blades MICHELIN or Denso

I am a fan of Michelin wiper blades

Denso, work pretty well

Denso Designer hybrid low-profile frame wipers. The Denso wipers are what came OEM on my 2009 Subaru Forester and they just work great and last. They also look great on cars that have the traditional hook attachment. You don't get that big center block with extraneous mounting holes. The wiper sits flush with the arm. I've used them on a Miata, a Mazda 2, an Odyssey, and a '97 Accord.

I invested in some new wiper blades... michelin stealth... They work so nicely, and so quiet! Also look way better than OEM.

After trying a lot of different blades over the years, these days I order Denso Designer blades for all my cars from Rockauto (not affiliated, just a fan). They were OEM on my '09 Subaru Forester and they work great and last a long time.

My favorites are the Michelin Stealth blades. I've never had them ice up and streak.

Anyway, got Denso replacement wipers and they're working really well so far. Denso 160-3124 and 160-3118 are the part numbers in case you look into them, 18\" passenger and 24\" driver

PSA: don’t get the Michelin blades sold at Costco. They fit fine in the arm but they seem to be taller and the wiper arms do not fit under the hood when turned off and hit the hood.

Got Michelin wipers from Costco, seemed good deal but performed poorly out of the box.

2006 NC miata. Just replaced my wipers from whatever the previous owner had on them. Got 18 inch michelins, but I noticed this gap where the wiper doesn’t rest on the glass.

I’m pretty sure I finally managed to install correctly. But maybe not?

FWIW, assuming it’s not my faulty installation, this gap did not exist with the old wipers.
