Get great visibility in rain with this rugged, corrosion-resistant wiper blade. The hinged frame has multiple pressure points for a clean, even wipe. The graphite-coated squeegee is smooth and quiet. EZ LOK connectors ensure simple installation.
Features:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:

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..

Wore out in 9 months under regular use.
The wipers are still on my truck and are in good condition after a year. That's impressive for being in the hot Arizona climate. Most wiper blades do not last a year here in Arizona.
I am trying Michelin graphite coated windshield wipers. Installation was easy. Now to see how they perform over time.
These windshield wipers installed easily and worked perfectly. Got them fast, too. That they were at the best price I've been able to find only made everything better.
Thanks so much!

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.
Wore out in 9 months under regular use.
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.
Very pleased with my order for a Michelin Rainforce 17 inch windshield wiper. Received my order

I waited to wright this review until I used the wipper blades. They worked well in light rain witch is good in my mind because thats where they usually streak. etrailer gave the best price I could find and they shipped fast.I will definately be buying from them again.
I received the windshield wiper blades quickly and experienced no issues with this order. Everything went smoothly and I installed the new blades this morning with no problem.
Great price. They are a perfect fit. Quick shipping.
Have purchased windshield wipers a few times from Etrailer.com and they have lasted a long time in heat and cold. They are "top of the line". You can rely on this company for a great product, and fast shipping.
