Upgraded to Wiper Blades with Michelin Optimum

I have been thinking about it for a while and now that the Bosch wipers gave up its time.

I used 20 inch blades and the FD takes 2 of them. I paid $20 for both, and if you buy them from Target you can apply for the $10 rebate. More info here http://www.michelinwiperblade.com/



The install was pretty simple

Here are the old Bosch




Not very effective anymore


MICHELIN OPTIMUM WIPER BLADE!!!



Old and new side by side








Now to take off the old and on with the new...



The hook just need to be pulled off and before that you need to lift a pin




Push it off



Now slip the new ones on and push it until it makes a click sound once it does its clocked in.







It rained pretty hard here in Jersey and its still at it. Just took it out for a test drive and its awesome! Well worth it!!!

Look just like the bosch icons i have. Except the part the the wiper clips on is not as ugly. It's much more subtle.

The Bosch icons are 24.95 plus tax EACH!!! Thats over $50 on blades...the Michelin do the same at half cost. Each blade was $10 and a total of $20...with the Target rebate it will be $10 for both! Thats 1/5th the Price of Bosch!
