Windshield-Hugging Frame-Style Design

Michelin RainForce windshield wiper frame hinges

The Michelin RainForce wiper blade for your vehicle improves visibility in rainy conditions. The metal frame is hinged so that it flexes to spread downward pressure over multiple points along the blade. This ensures that the wiper follows the contours of your windshield, resulting in a thorough wipe with no streaks.


Graphite-Coated Rubber Squeegee for Superior Performance

Michelin RainForce windshield wiper frame Squeegee

The natural rubber squeegee is made with proprietary processing techniques to ensure that it outperforms the competition. And the squeegee has a graphite coating to make sure the wiper glides smoothly across your windshield. This graphite coating helps to eliminate skipping, which can leave behind a washboard pattern of water. It also helps keep your wiper quiet so you won't be annoyed by squealing or chattering sounds.


Vented Design for Consistent Wiping Action in Wind

Holes in frame of Michelin RainForce windshield wiper

The vented design lets air flow freely through the frame, allowing the wiper to maintain consistent pressure on your windshield - even in high winds. So whether you're caught in windy conditions or just driving on the highway, you'll still have a clear view through your windshield.


Rugged Construction Ensures Long Wiper Life

The metal wiper frame has a powder coat finish that resists rust and ensures a long life. The frame hinges are constructed of metal to add strength and durability, and the squeegee has a stainless steel flexor that provides a corrosion-proof backbone for the blade.


Fast Installation with EZ LOK Connectors

Michelin RainForce windshield wiper connector

To install the blade, rotate the connector piece on the blade to fit the type of connector that's on your car. (Some wiper arm styles require that you replace the standard connector on the blade with one of the included alternate connectors.) Then clip the wiper blade onto the car's connector. The wiper blade will click into place so that you know it's securely installed.


The RainForce can be easily installed on most types of wiper arms, including those with the following connector styles:

Video Transcript for Michelin RainForce Wiper Blade Installation - 2013 Kia Forte

Aiden Hi everyone, Aiden here at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install these Michelin RainForce Wiper Blades here on our 2013 Kia Forte. Now wiper blades are really simple install to do at home yourself, you don't have to take it somewhere to get 'em done. And these ones are pretty much gonna be a direct replacement for the ones we had on there. They are gonna be a frame style, so we've got multiple points throughout here to give it a more even pressure throughout the blade as opposed to those larger ones that are just kind of one piece. So if you look closely here, we do have those multiple points giving us that constant contact and pressure throughout the whole length of the blade.

You'll also notice these slots in there. That's just to prevent any sort of wind interference, so they're vented. So as the wind is coming at your car and you're driving, they won't get caught or lifted up by heavy winds. Those kinda go through those vents. The graphite coating on the actual wiper itself will help it keep from skipping and chattering just to ensure that it's operating smoothly.

And taking them for a quick test drive. There's no skipping, they're all going really smooth. So it's really great to see, definitely working as intended and much better than the old pair. Now that we've checked out a few of those features and seen how they work, let's check out how you get them installed. We're gonna start by just laying down a towel or something padded underneath the wiper blades.

In case they fall, we don't want them to crack the windshield. And you can see these ones are definitely seeing some wear. Probably should have been replaced a little while ago, but we're gonna get those taken off today. We've got a small plastic tab right here on the ones currently on here. We can just kinda squeeze that in, and that'll release this latch here and allow us to actually take the wiper blade off just like that.

I'm just kinda pushing down right here, and that'll release it from the hook right here. So I'll set that old one to the side, and we can take our new one. This one's gonna be the exact same sort of mechanism. I'm just gonna rotate it like that. Actually leave it more like right here, get it started. And just sort of push that into place. You may have to wiggle it around a little bit to find that right spot, but once you've got it lined up, you can push it on. And here, you can pull it up into place, until we feel it latch in. Once that's done, you can just fold it down and repeat that process on the other side. Once that other side's done, you're done. It's a really simple install process and really easy to do at home. That's been our look at the Michelin RainForce Wiper Blades here on our 2013 Kia Forte. Thanks for watching..

You mentioned that the wiper blades came with the wrong type of attachment. I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail. They typically come with a few different adapters.

The blade package only displays a hook arm instruction and a side pin instruction. My 2013 MINI is neither of these attachments. It’s a straight arm with a hole for a locking pin. I didn’t open the package, but I can see there are no adapters in it. Also the blades sent were 20” and 21”, but the blades on the car are 18” and 19”. Thanks for responding,

I know that the wiper blades come with an EZ Lock connector and it does not show every type of connector that is compatible on the packaging. As long as your connector is one that is pictured on the product page it would work for you. If the blades do not work for you, would you be able to send a picture of your blades?

I am now on travel. I will open the package and give it another try next week when I return. I am hopeful they will work, even with the extra length.

I bought a pair of wipers for my wife's car in an auto parts store. They were terrible.
I looked online and found etrailer sells windshield wipers. I went by etrailer reviews and bought these Michelins. They work great and a year later they still perform beautifully. Highly recommend them. Great service, great products and a great company to do business with.

The Michelin wiper blades are top quality. Easy to install. Going forward I will order all my wiper blades from etrailer.com. All the items I purchased were nicely packaged for shipping and delivery. The box arrived fast. Thumbs up from me. If anyone has any concern about install, instructions come with the wiper blades. Otherwise, search youtube.com for a tutorial if needed.

To the etrailer.com,
I want to thank
you for the professionalism that was given to me regarding my order. I was given options and my product was fast and efficiently delivered in a protective box and coating to avoid delivery damage. I am in love with this company and how they handle business. That is something hard to find today with companies and online order but etrailer has overall made online shopping worth ordering. Thank you for your expertise service.

This is my second order with eTrailer. Both purchases were easy to order, with fast delivery, and great prices. I recommend eTrailer.

eTrailer noticed that I reordered one product I had ordered the month before and called me to ensure this wasn't an error. I was ordering for all my cars and a spare for one car. eTrailer Went above and beyond typical service! Kudos to eTrailer.
