got to use the Michelins a lot this weekend with all the rain we had

they wipe extremely clean ans quite silent

Good Stuff

The TOVI's on my GF car are however just a few wipes better than Pylon's, they are loud and after just a few months leave streaks on the glass

I got the PIAA Sporzas from W2J and have been using them in the rain for the past week.

All I could say is WoW!..... Shocked

I really luv them! Really clean and really quiet.

I made a note of the installation date, so lets see how long they last.

I saw Glens in Montrose stocking up on the Michelin's this weekend. He sells them for $70 each.

hadda admit,
the michelins still goin strong, about 2 streaks on my side, but that would be because the glass wasnt cleaned often.

Does every1put back on the same size wiperblades as stock? or has ne1here tried for something just a bit bigger tuh perhaps get that small triangle of unwiped area..just a bit smaller..and ne1know where in south has the michelin blades?

wagonrunner · Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 9:22 pm Post subject:

bigger blades, mean blades protruding past end of windshield.
d lil sector shouldn't bother you to much. how much vision is it really impairing

JM · Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 9:32 pm Post subject:

lol
i just find it annoying...lol..plus i think i can go one inch bigger on the left...and well to get the troublesome triangle smaller its mostly the right blade i have tuh buy a bigger one for..assuming that the extra length is added to the end that faces left when not in use...but i think i can go bigger without goin off the screen...is there ne other problem i might encounter? such as fittin it on or nething?

the older cars had a sizeable piece of the windshield occupied by teh triangle

newer models have eliminated this a lot with larger blades and the angle that teh blades sit at

Carplus on Cipero Street has the Michelins

I tried a 19" and 21" combination on the CK Lancer and I still getting a small triangle. I figure a 22" on the right side should do it, the next time I change.

bigger blades means more stress on the wiper arms and motors
keep in mind these parts were designed for a certain blade length

*sigh* they aint cheap......check your P.M. TurboDrive.......I go get flame if I post up the price.... Embarassed
