Are these blades suitable for all weather conditions?

How do I confirm the 17-inch size is correct for my car?

You can typically find the correct wiper blade size in your vehicle's owner's manual. You can also measure your existing blades or consult online compatibility guides.

Regular cleaning of the rubber blade with a damp cloth and ensuring the windshield is clean will help maintain their performance and extend their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Wiper blades leave streaks on the windshield.

Ensure the windshield is clean. Check the wiper blade for damage or debris. If the rubber is worn or damaged, replace the blade. Make sure the wiper arm is applying even pressure.

Wiper blades chatter or skip across the glass.

Clean the wiper blade and windshield. Verify the wiper arm is not bent and is applying sufficient downward pressure. Ensure the correct blade size and type are installed for your vehicle.

Wiper blades make noise.

Clean the rubber edge of the blade. Check for any obstructions on the windshield. Ensure the wiper arm is not loose and is properly seated.

New wiper blades don't fit properly.

Double-check the compatibility and size for your specific vehicle model. Ensure you are using the correct adapter and have followed the installation instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These Michelin Stealth Ultra wiper blades are designed for easy DIY installation. They come with various connectors to fit different wiper arms. Typically, the process involves releasing the old wiper blade, attaching the new blade using the provided adapter, and securing it. Always refer to the specific instructions included with the product for your vehicle's wiper arm type.

Compatibility:

This 17-inch blade is designed to fit 96% of the EU car park. However, it is essential to verify your vehicle's specific wiper blade size requirement before purchasing to ensure a proper fit. The 'Hybrid' designation indicates it uses a hybrid connector system, which is common but not universal.

Care:

To maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your wiper blades:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the rubber blade with a clean, damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the rubber blade.
  3. Windshield Washer Fluid: Use adequate washer fluid when cleaning the windshield; driving with dry blades can cause damage.
  4. Lift Wipers: In freezing temperatures, consider lifting the wiper arms off the windshield to prevent them from freezing to the glass, or use the vehicle's defrost settings effectively.
