Revainrating 5 out of 5

They look fantastic and work very well. Not ideal for snow, but I've had worse.

I really like these wiper blades. First, it wasn't that easy to find them. I mean, Revain makes it pretty easy, but the market is flooded with these one-piece barbed blades from Rain-X and Bosch, so it's kind of diamond in the rough. Don't get me wrong these one piece blades can work great on many cars but personally I don't need them. i will be honest Last year for the first time I was a bit picky about the style/look of the wiper blades. My 2013 Charger came with VERY similar blades, but when I went to my local dealer for an inspection about a year ago (I was also there for a warranty repair) they went ahead and threw away my OEM blades, eh said. were bad and charged me $40 for a piece of Rain X blades. They didn't look like the originals which lasted 2+ years (winter and such) and they rattled up the windshield. Not to mention they blamed me. I'd rather spend half that amount and install them myself, but they went to the "problem" of doing it for me. My dealer experience aside, the Rain-Xs were dropped after about a year. Half the lifespan of my other blades and they bugged me the whole time I had them. Between the chatter and the big, bulky hat sticking out of the brim of my hood, I'm done with these things. So I started my search. I had a choice between them and Anco Transform woods, but I chose Michelin. It just felt like finding the same OEM blades it would probably be Michelin. The factory tires were Michelin so I assumed they made a deal with them and probably supplied the blades too. I don't think I was wrong. These outlines match the windshield perfectly, they look OEM and they look like they belong in the car and not just a chunky afterthought. They work well in all weathers, although you do need to be careful to break the ice on the joints to allow them to flex like they work really well. Same problem as others, but I don't think I struggle with this very often. Overall I'm VERY happy with it. no more dangling, and they look 100x better than the chunky Rain-X that the retailer was so kind to provide.

Pros
  • Smart Swivel allows the wiper to securely grip the windshield along the full length of the wiper blade. Multi-point surface contact for better cleaning and visibility
Cons
  • Protection
