Costco Michelin Guardian hybrid wipers

Has anyone gotten these to fit? The previous Goodyear's that Costco sold worked, but so far these don't seem to have the right attachment.

Are you trying to replace the MB/Bosch spring blade with cheap multilink Michelin?

The Costco Michelin wipers come with all the plastic adapters and instruction sheet. I just replaced my daily car wipers 2 weeks ago.

I don't know how they compare when it comes to skipping over the windshield and making a racket the way OEM blades can.

Did yours come with three different adapters?

yes 3pcs.

Did you find the instructions sheet to install adapters ?

In the end it will all fit together but the additional freeplay may cause wobbling and skipping.

That being said it works ok on my Acura with 26" driver blade

While I haven't changed my 212's wipers yet (about due), on all previous cars I've gotten good results with either the Bosch "Exact Fit", or the basic Trico wipers.... Except, the W124's huge monowiper, *ONLY* the Mercedes OEM blade seemed to cover edge to edge, anything else, the wiper ends would lift off at freeway speeds and not follow the curvature of the glass.

I had to go out and get Tricos instead. Fit great.

I did, but i wonder if we have different wiper attachments? The ones i have look like this. They are wide/fat and have a peg that you have to slide the wiper attachment into.

These Bosch are OEM, so are these Valeo's. Note the part numbers for future purchases, these were both 35.00 a pair.

The Michelin ones I got from Costco absolutely fit, zero issues, and worked perfectly in the last rain. Just buy em ...easy and effective.
