Michelin 8519 Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blade with Smart Technology, 19" (Pack of 1)

I really love these wiper blades. First of all, these weren't really the easiest to find... I mean, Amazon makes it pretty easy, but the market is overrun with these single-piece, beam-style blades from Rain-X and Bosch, so these are kind of a diamond in the rough. Don't get me wrong, those single-piece blades can work fine on a lot of cars, but I personally don't care for them.I'll be honest... I was a little picky on the style/look of wiper blades for the first time last year. My 2013 Charger came with blades VERY similar to this, but about a year ago when I went in to the local dealer for an inspection (I was there for a warranty fix, too), they went ahead and ditched my OEM blades that they said were bad, and charged me $40 for some Rain-X one-piece blades. They looked nothing like the originals, which had lasted 2+ years (winter and all), and they chattered as they went up the windshield. Not to mention what they charged me... I would have much rather went out, spent half that and installed them myself, but they went to the "trouble" of doing it for me.Moving past my dealership experience, the Rain-X ones were shot in about a year. Half the life of my other blades, and they annoyed me the entire time I had them. Between the chattering and the big, bulky attachment piece sticking up from behind the edge of my hood, I was done with those things. So, I started my search. It was a toss-up between these and the Anco Transform blades, but I decided to go with the Michelin. Just seemed like IF I was going to find the same OEM blades, they'd probably be the Michelins... The factory tires were Michelins, so I took a guess that they had a deal with them and probably provided the blades, too.I don't think I was wrong. These contour great to the windshield, they look like the OEMs, and look like they belong on the car, and not just some clunky afterthought. They work well in all weather, though you have to be mindful to make sure you crack any ice at the joints so that they can flex as they are designed, to really work well. Same problem you'd have with others, but I don't find it to be something I battle very often.Overall, I'm VERY happy with these... no more chattering, and they look 100x better than the clunky Rain-X ones that the dealership so graciously provided.

I bought these while they were running a special. Sadly, somehow I screwed up the order and got too many 26" ones and only one 22" so I was only able to put them on my wife's Honda minivan. She was very happy with them and always rubbed it in how well they worked and how quiet they were. I only got to drive the vehicle once after installing them and we went through a car wash. I do agree that they were very quiet and did an excellent job of clearing the windshield. I don't know if they are worth the cost at full/regular price, but at the sale price (I paid around $11.00 for the 22") I would buy these again in a heart beat. Windshield wipers are one of those things I just can't get myself to spend a lot of money on, but these were certainly better than many other makes and models that I have used in the past.

I bought a set of 26" and 16" of Michelin Stealth Ultra wiper blades for my 2013 Honda CRV. The pair were installed properly per the instructions and performed flawlessly together for almost a month. While traveling during a twelve hour trip during on & off rain on interstate and secondary roads; the driver's side blade broke at the "Hybrid Hinge" clip and the blade flew off the windshield. Fortunately, there were no oncoming vehicles or vehicles following when this incident occurred. I observed the clip breaking apart prior to the blade flying off. The shorter 16 inch passenger blade is still working like a champ. Had to buy another brand of driver's side blade to finish the trip.January 2015 Update:When I returned from the trip, I contacted Michelin and reported the breakage incident. After some discussion, they advised that the wiper blade broke because it did not have a "side saddle" attachment which reinforces the blade attachment to the "J" hook wiper arm. They mailed me a complete set of two replacement blades of the "Stealth" brand which came with side saddles installed. Due to Michelin's great customer service, I will upgrade this transaction to 5 stars.Couple of footnotes:1. The replacement blade purchased during the trip came with the side saddle built onto the blade.2. The "Ultra Stealth" branded blades were specified as exact fit replacement but really are not for my vehicle.
