Rating 4.0

The wiper assembly on this car is one of the best of any car I’ve had. When the original blades started to get streaky, I did briefly try some michelin and rainx blades to replace the OEM blades, but found they were both a downgrade. Both were larger than OEM, which generated extra noise, and caught the wind when at speed so they would chatter and skip. Less than ideal especially in inclement weather.

I’ve been using OEM blades ever since. I typically replace the wiper blades in the fall, and then if I notice any issues with streaks in the spring I replace again.

This is my second winter with the car and OEM blades, and I’m not having any issues with the blades or fluid. If I do miss anything, the wipers and the winter fluid take care of the rest.

Pros: OEM: no issues, good performance
Cons: Michelin/RainX: noisy, chattered, skipped
Vehicle: Mazda 3

I have used the Michelin Wiper Blades from Costco and don\u2019t find anything wrong with them. I use them on 3 vehicles and get at least a year out of them. I think they are a great value.

Pros: great value

The OEM wipers weren’t great on my Taos. I had good luck with Michelin wipers from Costco and cheap (~5-7) Hella wipers from Rock Auto. I’ve also used Bosch and Valeo wipers from Amazon. There are so many different models it’s hard to recommend a single one. Most are good, even the cheaper ones.

Pros: good luck
Cons: OEM weren’t great
Vehicle: Volkswagen

It's not that the Michelins don't last long, it's that they're bad right from the start. They squeak from day one and it never gets better.

Cons: bad right from start, squeak
