Video Transcript for Michelin Stealth Ultra Wiper Blades Installation - 2022 Chrysler Pacifica

Hey it's Ethan here at Etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Michelin Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blades on our 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. We have both the 20 inch and 26 inch blades that we're going to be installing, so check it out. These are just going to replace your factory wiper blades. These are going to be hybrid style and all weather so they're supposed to work with your vehicle in rain, snow, and sleet. We have a hinged smart flex suspension system which you can maybe take a closer look at from this angle.

So, that's gonna help the blade conform to your windshield to optimize your wiper performance. It's gonna hold your blades down on the ends and it's going to offer eight pressure points along the way to provide consistent contact to your windshield. On the outside, we have a hinged plastic cover. It's gonna be durable, but it also has the ability to flex so you might be able to see in these connection points right here. So that's gonna, again, help it conform to the windshield shape and prevent ice, snow debris, and things like that from building up on the blade.

They're hinged independently from the blade which is going to increase that flexibility throughout the blade as well. Overall, the coating on the inside of the squeegee portion of the blades is made of graphite, which is supposed to help make the process a little bit smoother and minimize skipping or chattering along the windshield. Also, we do have a corrosion proof stainless steel flexor which is gonna be durable and hold up for a longer period of time. Back to the outside, we do have a black powder coat metal frame, which, again, is just going to help it hold up to weather, rust and corrosion. So you should be able to reuse these for a longer period of time.

Both blades do come with a set of easy lock connectors which are supposed to make the blades work with any sort of connection that they might need. In our case, we just had a J hook that fit in really quickly and easily, but you can check out the installation process right now. For the installation process, the first thing we're going to want to do is put a towel down or something to protect our windshield once we lift this up. If it snaps back down without a windshield wiper on there it could definitely damage your windshield. So get that towel down and then grab, if you can, some kind of trim panel tool to get this other, or the factory windshield wiper off.

You'd probably use a flathead screwdriver or something like that too but the plastic's gonna be less likely to damage it. We're just gonna fit it in this gap right here and lift up. So put that in there, pop this panel up here, and then it's just a matter of sliding your blade out, just like that. And putting the new blade in is also really easy. We'll just do that process but in reverse. Just fit this right in there, slide it down, clicks in place and you're installed. To clarify, we put the 20 inch wiper blade on our passenger side and on this side we're going to be installing the 26 inch blade, but the process is gonna be the same for both. So I have my trim panel tool, again. We're gonna pop this lever up and out of the way. Move the blade forward or backwards depending on which way you're looking at it, but we just need to slide that hook out, grab our new blade, make sure we have facing the right direction so it will fit into this notch. Just slide it in there, make sure it clicks and is in place firmly, and then that blade is installed as well. Overall, when you're looking for wiper blades to fit your car there's a ton of options from different makes and models, different suppliers and things like that. So there's not a lot that separates them and there's not a ton that we can do to test them out physically to see what they look like and how they'll work on your vehicle. But as far as the insulation process goes it was super easy. I do think the fact that we have multiple hinges on the back as well as that suspension system on the blades is gonna help them contour to our windshield and they should work well for a long period of time when they they do have that black powder coat finish and that connector on the inside. So, overall, this again was just a quick look at the Michelin Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blades. How they install, how they work on our 2022 Chrysler Pacifica.
