i've been wondering how good these works... these are the new michelin one-piece wiper blades.they look alot nicer than normal wiper blades. but i'm wondering if anyone has these installed and if they are happy with them and notice better performance than a normal wiper blade. i've noticed these on my pop's 07 tundra and the new honda civics have them as well..and a few other cars i cant think of.

 

"If it's on a civic, I dont want it"

lol j/k

It looks like it might be a better design than the old ones, but, they might also crack more easily if you live in hot ***, southern states. Us Northeasterners might be able to get away with them for a long period of time. But, If I ever see them in stores, I might give-em a try

 

They work well. Other companies have been selling similiar designs for quite a while now.

 

My friend's got one going on 2 years now. Works darn well. Worth the extra $1. Dunno if I'd get michellin when some other brand will do the same for cheaper.

Bosch Icons FTW!

/thread

 

PNW croo knows what they're talking about when they talk about wipers...

 

yeh, Bosch Icons or Trico has one out, pretty pricey, $40+ for a pair of Icons.

 

they look normal to me...i guess im missing something

 

there is no seperate holder for the blade. its all one piece.

 

I have not tried the Michelins. I have had Valeos on my Max for over two years, still work better than anything else I've used. I think I paid $30/ea. at the time because they were fairly new, and never regretted it.

I also tried Bosch Icons on the wife's truck and didn't care for them.

Tire Rack has the best price on Valeos I've seen - buy one for $19.99 and get one free. I ordered for both vehicles recently even though I don't need them yet, because I wasn't sure how long the special would last.

Wow, when you said that I went to Tirerack.com and ordered a pair. sale still on. 27 bucks including shipping and thats saving me atLEAST 10 bucks. thats hot! Now I'll try them out and if i don't like them, atleast i didnt pay full price. But I think i will.

 

Got Valeos, nothing but positive feedback for them. Won't get anything else.

 

I got some standard wipers that were Michelin branded from walmart, and they had to have been the worst wipers I've ever owned.

I really like the Bosch. . .I think Excel+ wipers? that I'm running now, however still think the best wipers for the $$$ are the NAPA ones with the little moist wipes to condition them. My dad swears by'em and I can't blame him tbh

 

my mom got em, i dont think they are made by michelin, but look the same.

winter will tell if they are worthy of being on her camry

 

Not me. I think the last time I used windshield wipers on the Maxima was when I drove it to Golden Gardens in hte spring of 2006.

The Tundra I had got more wiper use going home from Eugene that one day than it did the other 8 months I owned it combined!

East of the Cascades FTW.

 

I've had Valeos like this for a year, and they work absolutely wonderfully all season
