Michelin 8524 Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blade with Smart Technology, 24" (Pack of 1)

Gran calidad de producto

Great quality product, but they do not fit a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg.

Don't work as well as expected and wind lifts them at speed .

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.

After 6 months, the wiper blade starts to warp causing squeaky sounds during operation. Think it is not suitable for hot weather
