Thank you for the information. You are right so many parts inside the package -- useless. Easy explanation and thorough. God bless

Thank you so much for your tutorial. My blade rubber did the same thing as yours. The extra parts didn't throw me, however, the instructions that were not helpful. You are a blessing.

You're welcome! It sure makes me feel good as I am nearly 75 years old and I can still be helpful to folks. Drive safely.

The rolled towel is a great tip. Also the encouragement to break the plastic clip on old blade was helpful.

. . . good great suggestion about the towel . . . AND, good solid images in your video of the "details" that your arm nor hand covered while you were describing . . .

Glad it was helpful! I can always learn from comments. Safe driving.

Thanks for the video I'm glad you went step by step because the instructions that came in the box read more about all the different parts vs how to install it. Thanks for the tips because it was counter intuitive

Good tutorial! It never occurred to me that the J-hook would break the windshield if the arm comes down but stands to reason that it would. I actually got a pair of those wipers from Costco several years ago because they looked like high quality wipers at a great price. However, after opening them and seeing all those parts I decided to take them back and have my local auto parts store replace them. 🤣 It's funny because here in AZ we have to replace them due to dry rot......seriously! The intense sun dries out the rubber and then on the rare occasion you need your wipers, the rubber just falls off and you're left with a scratched windshield from the metal arm scraping across before you can get the wipers turned off. 🥵

This seems like a much better design than the old one Michelin wipers from Costco, they weren’t absolute trash but they weren’t good imo. One of them broke off in a snow storm.

@gfotinakes316 2 ай бұрын

I never know if the extra money for "dealer blades" are worth the quality difference. In Southern California, the rubber breaks down in 2-3 years anyway.

@@gfotinakes316 Out here in the mid-west I feel like we’re lucky to get a year out of wiper blades. I had a set out on like 6 or 7 months ago at the dealer and they’re still doing really well which is pretty good for out here.

@@gfotinakes316 In seattle, we replace annually whether we think they are done. They get really wet in the winter and dry out in the dry summer.

Returning these blades. I bought Michelin blades from Walmart 3 months ago. I had to replace one because a storm bent it. Today the wiper blades do not match the ones they sold months ago. So now my blades don't match and I have to replace every one of them to match, and I will buy a different brand.

@gfotinakes316 Ай бұрын

What a pain! Good luck.

@ChiapasPioneer Ай бұрын

like most items that work as a pair, I always buy two, the driver's side and the passenger side. Also, I double checked sizing as applies to which side the wiper blade is being installed . . . my passenger side blade is bigger than the driver's side . . .

to uninstall the older costco, you need to separate the plastic seal piece. The new Michelin is much easier.

Great!

@davidpeterson3222 Ай бұрын

Why don't they standardize the installation? I'd replace my blades more often if it wasn't such a pain figuring each out. 7 vehicles and I think each is different in some manner. And then different year/brand blades can be different. Guess they really don't want people to replace them.

@gfotinakes316 Ай бұрын

I hate to sound negative, but I believe most companies do what is easiest and most cost-effective for themselves. The companies will not lose sales if wiper blade attachments are not conventional. I agree with you, they are a pain to deal with.

It's totally different that the last one.

I have not noticed a change in the "J" hook design in the last 5 years.

WHY? Do most of the wiper videos videos say COSTCO wiper blades??? I promise you WalMart sells many many more wiper blades than COSTCO. Doesn’t make sense.

@gfotinakes316 2 ай бұрын

I personally use Costco blades so I use them to make my videos. It sounds like you have given me a good idea! Thanks!

There is a line of Michelin wiper blades that are exclusive to Costco. I think they’re called Guardians. Don’t think you can buy them anywhere else.
