Costco's Michelin Stealth Wiper Blades Anybody Tried?

Costco's Michelin Stealth Wiper Blades Anybody Tried?

I can't stand the streaks from the wipers. They are less than a year old and i've tried everything from claying the windshield to cleaning,wiping the wipers.

Should I buy new refills or just get new blades? Saw some Costco's Michelin Stealth Wiper Blades at costco for $11 and was going to buy some.

Just bought the michelin high performance ones from wal mart today and they work great. Now I need to set the washer nozzles so they don't aim towards my back window!

wipers should be replaced every 3k miles or 3 months, also you should be able to aim the jets with a pin (stick the pin in and move the nozzel)

3 months 3k miles? What kind of blades are those? Some Chinese crap? Wiper blades should last at least a year.

Definitely the atmosphere and environment you live in makes a huge difference. SoCal is not so kind on exposed rubber products. You're really lucky to get 12 months out of them. My car is 9 months old and I need to replace soon. Even though we don't get all that much rain, just trying to keep up with the grime that builds up here (especially along the coast where I live and work) is a PIA.

The Costco wipers sound like a deal especially if they do a good job clearing the windshield.

I live in Seattle and it rains a lot here. I replace my rain-x wipers every year or so if it starts streaking.
