Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Michelin 8522 Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blade with Smart Technology - Advanced 22โ€ Design (Pack of 1) by Michael Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far so good for wipers and washers

Just bought one and driven cross country on a trailer for 5 days. Conditions included various types of rain and fog, mud/salt on a winter road and strong winds. I only bought one to compare performance to a cheap winter knife that's about two months old. I will update as soon as it arrives. So far, so good. Big improvement: 1. No jumps or noise.2. Cleans much better.3. It can be seen visually as it fits better to the contours of the windshield. A cheap blade crushes the middle, and the ends barely touch. This serial.4. The cheap one had a problem with the wind: when it hit the side of the windshield, the wind tore it off the glass. This new blade is different. Coming up: snow and ice. It's January in Buffalo, New York, so it's going to be a big test. Installation Note: My wiper arm has a "hook" and the installation is a little different: you have to rotate the arm 90 degrees *then* pull it out to lock it. you do not have to turn other blades. Some reviewers who thought the mount was loose seemed unaware. The instructions are pretty lame. I will never be able to understand. Spend a few thousand for excellent guides and copies don't cost any extra money. Same printing costs as lousy instructions.

Pros
  • Patented Smart Hinge cover prevents snow, ice and dirt from clogging the wiper blades
Cons
  • The list goes on.
