Michelin RainForce All Weather Performance Wiper Blade - 14", Pack of 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The helpful little tool provided by Amazon is supposed to tell you if a wiper blade will fit a particular car. That tool says that this 14" blade will fit a 2004 Lexus RX330 rear wiper. It's a lie. The blade assembly itself will absolutely NOT fit an RX330 no matter what you do. Completely different design.
The refill part (the rubber part of the blade aseembly) will fit with modification. That modification is that you clip about 1 cm off from the rubber refill and you re-use the steel re-inforcing strips from the original refill. The reinforcing strips that come with the Michelin blade are too long. You can clip those and use them, but the originals fit and work unmodified.
Overall this supposed to be a good product, according to Consumer Reports; just a shame it will not work w/o modification.

Michelin RainForce All Weather Performance Wiper Blade - 26", Pack of 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am pleased with these wipers. They do a great job and seem very well made. They are very easy to install. It rained quite a bit in CT during the month of April 2011 and these wipers do a fantastic job of getting the water off the windshield. It will always be in your best interest to keep your windshield clean as the small particles of dirt and oil that build up work against the wipers and can cause smearing and streaking.

Michelin RainForce All Weather Performance Wiper Blade - 11", Pack of 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hard to tell whether I just happened to purchase a defective one or if there is a design flaw with this unit, but it does not wipe my entire window. I purchased this for the rear window of my '06 Mazda Tribute. I have had several wipers on before that all worked fine, this was my first Michelin purchase.
Installation was easy and I gave the window a good cleaning to ensure there was no dirt on the window. We received a pretty good rain a couple days after install and I tested the wiper to find that it wiped cleanly in the center section (probably about the middle 7" of the wiper), but that the edges on top and bottom (about 2" on each end) did not wipe well at all. To me this indicates a design flaw in that the wiper is designed incorrectly so as to not let the pressure hit on the end sections of the wiper.
As stated, I have had other wipers work just fine so I know it is not a defect with my wiper arm or window. Maybe I just received a defective unit, but I won't be buying a Michelin again.
