Review on Michelin 14616 Radius Premium Frameless by Darren Anderson

This rating is for the 28" and 17" Michelin Radius wiper blades. I have a 2009 Altima and have been using Bosch Icon wiper blades for years. The last set lasted 3 years and it's time to replace them. Since these Michelin Radius wipers are a new product, I decided to give them a try. The first problem is that the plastic connector for the J-Hook is made out of very cheap plastic and only has a small retaining clip which is very flimsy. After installing both blades, I noticed that one end of the 28" blade (center of the windshield) and one end of the 17" blade (closest to the door) were not touching the glass, leaving a gap. Some blades just try them out and see if it makes a difference. I can see where the ends of the blades aren't making good contact with the windshield and the water isn't washing away. But the rest of the blade wears well. With that in mind, I wanted to bring them back for the 26" and 16" sizes, but decided again on the Bosch Icon as they are more "curved" and make full contact with the windshield.
