Wiper blades MICHELIN or VALEO

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

Michelin Stealth blades work well on Mk4s.

I found direct replacements at Advance Auto...Michelene Ultra Stealths. Kind of pricey as I recall but I'm happy.

The only other blade I would consider on par with or a slight upgrade would be the Valeos I got from Tire Rack.

I have the Michelin stealth (we just started selling them) and I like them better than the rain x beam blade wipers, they seem to go longer without streaking.

I like my Valeo Gen2 wipers. They're about $20 a pair, and they've lasted over a year with no streaking at all, and they're super quiet.

I personally only use Valeo blades. They've always worked out well. I typically get 12-15 months out of them before they need to be replaced.

I hope others read this and follow suit. The Valeo OEM ones are so superior to the aftermarket Bosch ones. Even brand new, Bosch are rubbish.

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.

Once I put the Michelin on I started getting blade chatter. Annoying
