Wiper blades PIAA or MICHELIN

Mine were crap from day 1...left a 4" drivers side streak on first use. Swapped in PIAA Si Techs...perfect since.

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

Best so far for me have been PIAA wipers. I have them on my CC and my wife's car.

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.

PIAA super silicone wipers last a very long time. My current ones are 4 years old and finally starting to streak. Its perfect for me because in sunny social it rains like 2 weeks every year. It coats your windshield like what rainx does too.

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.

PIAA super silicone. I've had this last set since 2007.. Still clear. no rips, PIAAs are the hands down best

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
