FYI - This video doesn't work for the 2017 Ford Explorer that the video is linked to from the Michelin / Costco website. While this vehicle does not have the traditional J-hook arms (unfortunately) - the hardware (plastic clips) provided with this wiper blade don't have any contact points that latch securely onto the OEM wiper arm.
I'll probably be returning these blades to Costco. I've spent an hour on this already for something that should be a 5 minute task.
Just bought the car this year, have never seen wiper arms like this before. Will probably buy blades from the Ford Dealer.

I did not ever know how often they needed to be replaced! Thanks so much for keeping us safe!

Worked PERFECTLY on my Volvo wagon. This video rules.

This video was linked on Michelin's website for my car. This DOES NOT work for a 2017 Ford Mustang (and possibly 2015+ models).
CORRECT adapter is C4 (the one with two C shaped clips at the bottom of the adapter) which works like a charm.

Very clear and detailed!

Old Michelin Design was way better!

[@amerhashem7491]

Thank you so much. This was super helpful !!

Please sync the names printed on the different covers and adapter with the instructions that come with the wipers.
Managed to install these fine on my Side Lock Pontiac G8 by squinting to follow the pictures as none of the adapters are named like the instructions.
And the same covers were labelled differently! My driver side was A5-C1 while the passenger side was A5-C2 :-\
The cover called C3 on the instructions used for Top Lock-Narrow Slotted were labelled A2-C2 and A2-C4 in my set, lol

Super helpful!

Very helpful

[@kennethkline7794]

If there was a grade for "Less Than Helpful", you guys nailed it. No where in this video does it explain any of the 4 separate connectors included in the product. The provided instructions do not identify any parts included. My 07 Tundra blades are the worst at changing.

[@InspectorCallahan.44]

This side lock installation I was directed to does not work on a 2011 Tundra.

[@tombo552001]

Well I tried and tried and watched the video, then I found out I was over thinking it, you don't slide it up or down just push it into the harm and close the cover, thats it.

[@nathanpower7965]

Checked this vid for a Ford Fusion 2016, if you have one use A5 instead of the B connector. Or work out which one fits best - the B connector didn’t fit my car.

[@yourztruly2386]

Mine snapped and broke when I snapped it on the arm. One side worked fine. Other side snapped

[@mattlight4788]

2015 Escape did not work. Highly annoyed.

[@TapanPatel10]

You likely have the same wiper assembly as my 2017 Ford Mustang. The correct adapter to use is C4 (the one with two C shaped clips at the bottom of the adapter).

[@DangerzoneFTW]

Didn't work for my 2015 Focus.

[@rjheilman]

Is this a generic install video or specifically identified to be for my 2011Acura

[@domenicdipillo2628]

Blades and C2 connector does not work on my 2015 Tundra. Connector too narrow. Returning blades to Costco. Cheap prices - Cheap Blades.

[@robertstrunk5514]

Will never buy Michelin again. The package didn't have a C2 cover.

[@spyindisguise]

Same! Thought it was only my package so I opened the 2nd one and that one didn't have it either. Guess my ford edge will have to wait 😑

[@danielcarusocmt]

This video sucks. It’s too dam dark. Gees.

[@waywardmunkey]

Didn’t fit my 2010 528i BMW

[@pauls_itchy_beard]

I don't think this is the right video for a 2013 ford escape
