Michelin 8516 Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blade with Smart Technology, 16" (Pack of 1)

I’ve been using SilBlades for years and thought they were the best. But I haven’t gotten the durability from those in recent years that I used to get years ago.Most recent issues include chattering which appears to be because of the angle of the blade to the windshield. So conventional guidance is that you may need to bend the wiper arm one way or the other in order to correct the angle.However - if the blade itself is actually warped - meaning the angle of the rubber wiper section of the blade (part that touches the glass) is slanted one way or the other - then bending the arm is not going to really help much. And you may end up breaking the arm if you go too far.This probably occurs due to age and heat. But I do believe some blades may be more susceptible to this warpage issue.Bottom line - these new blades solved the chatter as they are not “warped”. At least not yet! And I am hoping that because the rubber on these blades is a bit shorter than the silblades, it will be less likely to become warped and start “leaning” one way or the other rather than remaining perpendicular as when new. Time will tell!

While getting to the wipers wasn’t easy, these fit and work great for the passenger side of a 2022 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy (Amazon said it wouldn’t fit).

Bought just one and have used it for 5 days now, driving cross country in a semi-tractor. Conditions included various kinds of rain and mist, Winter road dirt/salt, and strong winds. I bought just one so I could compare performance to a cheapo Winter blade that's about two months old. Will update as I go.So far it's been excellent. Huge improvement:1. No skips or noise.2. Cleans much better.3. Can visually see how it maintains better contact with the contours of the windshield. The cheapo blade is crushing the middle and the ends just barely touch. This one is consistent.4. The cheapo one had a problem with wind: when it got to the side of the windshield the wind would lift it off the glass. Not so with this new blade.Soon to come: snow and ice. It's January in Buffalo NY, so it's going to be a serious test...A note on installation: my wiper arm has the "hook" and installation is a little different: have to rotate the arm 90 degrees *then* pull it out, to snap it into place. other blades you don't need to rotate. Some reviewers, who thought the mounting was loose, didn't seem to know that.The instructions are pretty lame. I can never understand that. Spend a few thousand on great instructions, then it costs zero extra money to make copies of it. Same printing costs as lousy instructions.

I purchased two of these Michelin Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blades for my wife's 2013 Ford Escape. These blades, once installed, are fantastic and better than the OEM blades I'd been purchasing for several years. The only issue I have with these wiper blades are the installation process which isn't that bad once you figure out what to do but the horrible instructions on the packaging aren't doing end-users any favors.In short, these blades come with four different types of mounting options. One of the mounts is already attached to the blade and three others are included in the packaging. Clearly Michelin markets these blades for maximum compatibility with many different types of vehicles. Part of the puzzle of installing these blades is determining what type of adapter to use with your vehicle. The instructions on the back of the packaging are bad... like really, really bad. There's no list or compatibility guide at all with these to help you figure out which adapter to use.After carefully looking over the OEM blades on my wife's car I found the closest adapter that looked compatible and set to figure out how to mount the blades. In short, if you're mounting these on a 2013 Ford Escape (or probably similar model year Ford vehicles) here's how to mount the blades:1) Remove the old wiper blades (obviously).2) Remove the pre-mounted adapter on the Michelin Stealth blades. → To remove this piece rotate it so it's upside down and press on either side of the adapter to pop it off the mounting arm.3) Find the 'top lock' adapter. A picture of the adapter is on the back of the wiper packaging material.4) Line up the mounting arm on the wiper to the bracket on the 'top lock' adapter and press down until it clicks into place.5) Use your thumb to open the tab on the front most part of the 'top lock' adapter. It should fold back and away from the top of the adapter.6) Line up the back grooves of the blades with your vehicles wiper arms. It's important that you line up the back first!7) Press (or squeeze) the Michelin blade on until you hear everything pop into place.8) Close the 'top lock' by closing the tab you opened in Step #5.9) Finished!In short, these are great blades marred by terrible instructions!

They were great and they were at a good price

Returned these wipers the same day I received them. Upon opening the packaging and examining the blades I immediately noticed they are designed for j-hook wiper arms. Also, two cheap plastic adapters supplied with the blades will not allow the blades to be adapted to pinch tab arms which is what my car has (a 2019 Ford Fusion).When you carefully read the product description it is in fact stated the blades are for pinch tab wiper arms.Come on Amazon, correct the misleading information.As a side note I have the exact same model wiper blades on my Ford Escape but purchased two years earlier. The design is totally different than what was just sent me. Also, they do in fact fit pinch tab arms without any problems. To bad because they are great blades. They are not showing any signs of wear yet and are doing a great job of squeegeeing water off the windshield at any speed. They are a 5 star rating blade.Where can I get this model but manufactured more than two years ago?

I've been using Michelin W/W blades on and off for decades. Keep coming back to them. Among the best for value, quality and longevity.

Lo fácil de instalar y la durabilidad del producto es de una calidad excelente!

Don't work as well as expected and wind lifts them at speed .

After 6 months, the wiper blade starts to warp causing squeaky sounds during operation. Think it is not suitable for hot weather

Took me a while to find out it was so easy to install.
