Egads! I just watched a bunch of videos and you are the first one to tell me to take the stupid cover off first. Thanks! Just got my new ones on. And ignore all the negative comments. You actually helped me get mine on.
Wrong, the camera doses not show the install of the connector to the J-part of the arm and after a mechanic put it on for me, now I can't even get it off.
Thank you this is the only video that helped after 5+ videos. As a woman who constantly struggles to put on my wiper blades, (even after the 5th time) this was super helpful!
Thanks for the tutorial. Im blown away by all the as-holes who leave negative comments so unnecessary to talk shi- @! Especially for those guys who couldnt figure out a missed step instead of posting solution ( im sure eventually you figured it out since your so intelligent) you could simply made a suggestion! Im sure this guy would have updated video.
Thanks for your positive thoughts and thanks for watching. This will be a video that I should definitely redo. I made it so quickly as a test to see what type of videos would get views on my channel.
The cover on the new wipers have little plastic tabs on each side. All you have to do is slightly pull or spread the plastic cover and the plastic tabs will clear and come off. Good luck!
I have been working on cars for 50 years but replacing wiper blades is always puzzling! Slow the video down and show more closeup would help. Here's the trick ... when you push the wiper blade connector into the J-hook of the wiper arm , you will hear and feel a click. Dont stop now. Keep pushing the wiper blade assembly into the hook and you will feel another, much more sturdy click. If you stop after the first click, you will have loose wiper blades that will probably fall off the car within minutes of the first rain storm.
You are absolutely right. I quickly made this video thinking that nobody would watch it. It has been one of my highest viewed videos and I did not really take the time to film it correctly. I will reshot it using a tripod and a GoPro with greater detail and explanation.
Putting them on is the easy part put the hook around the curve and make sure it locks in, the part he did show that was the important thing was taking that face plate off, the damn directions says it lifts up and trying to do that you feel you're gunna break something so he showed exactly what was needed
I’m glad I was able to help you out. I mostly get negative feedback on this video. It’s a video that I quickly made it I thought nobody would ever watch and it’s one of my best performing videos on the channel. I most definitely wanna reshoot it and spend more time in greater detail.
@@JDMRightHandDrive people are dumb, and those directions are dumb it all said and showed the thing lifting up and then clicking back down and if i kept tryin that i for sure would have broke them trying to make then do what the pic on the box showed, thank you for the help
I am installing the exact blades on my silver 2009 MDX. Coincidence the video shows the same however, please note the wiper blade guide seen 2:34 does not accommodate the rubber cover and wiper blade. The wiper blade guide is the square attachment located approximately mid arm of the car wiper arm. @ 2:59 the blade guide seen @ 2:34 is removed to allow installation of the blade. The Michelin blades demonstrated in the video are esthetically nice however, modifying the original car equipment to accommodate an aftermarket wiper blade is disappointing. Personally, purchasing these blades at Costco yesterday was an impulse buy because they were so inexpensive. I removed the rubber back that covers the wiper frame and still had trouble positioning the blade frame within the wiper guide. This attempt to force the blades to fit will most likely abuse asymmetrical contact. I put Rainx silicone advantage on my wife and daughter vehicles over a year ago. Both have RX350’s. Best wipers I’ve ever bought. Blades work just as good as the day I put them on. Wouldn’t be surprised if they will last another 12 months.
Great response. Yes, that guide did make it so the blades not not fit without either removing the rubber cover or the blade guide. I tried each way in the blades really didn't perform very effectively to my opinion. They were mediocre at best. Just like you I also purchased some high-end Rain-X windshield wipers and installed them and they're worth the extra $8 a piece that they cost. a month later after installing new wipers we traded in the car for a brand new 2021 CX9.
Well done! The instructions for these don't tell you to take off the cover, which I eventually figured out on my own. But would have saved a lot of time just watching this first.
Video helped me alot. I broke the clip on my short blade trying to figure it out on my own with the lousy instruction booklet. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!(subbed! )
I've purchased these Michelin blades from costco for my 2013 honda accord coupe the last two years, i don't like them. They last maybe 6 months before they streak to the point of it being unsafe to use. They streaked a lil bit when new also...I live on SoCal btw so your mileage may vary.
Yes, I am getting similar results with my Costco blades. I have purchased the Costco Michelin blades a couple of different times, usually when my blades are bad and I happen to walk by them. I usually only use them through one winter and then replace them with some $15 rainx blades or some nicer michelins. The $15 blade seem to last like 4 or 5 years compared to these inexpensive Costco blades.
Why does every man on UA-cam not know that those of us doing this for the first time need to actually see how the part slides on the hook. This is my 10th video of the guy losing camera angle on the only part I need to see? Ugh!
Sorry for that, I put this video together thinking no one would ever watch it. I just picked up 2 new sets of wipers. I am going to remake the video spend time on the process make sure the camera is on the shot.
Left confused. Just baught Michelin Wiper Blades at Costco. There are 3 other parts in the package besides the wiper itself and the cover. Not sure if I need to use all 3 parts or just the top cover after it’s installed. And not even sure which one of these parts is the cover.
The Micheline instructions are only for people with excellent eyes. They ought to print it larger. Their Q-code instructions didn't launch on my smar phone. Useless.
Michelin's instructions really suck. I looked at 10 different videos on how to install these wipers on my jeep wrangler... the 1st step about removing the cover wasn't mentioned in the other videos. Made all the difference in the world!!!! very helpful in stating the steps, but the video needs work. Get someone to hold the camera next time. Took about 2 minutes to replace the blades following his instructions. Thank you
Thanks, glad the video help you out. I purchased another set of blades from Costco and I am getting ready to redo the video. My camera work was not as good as it should have been. Thanks for watching!
It would have been more helpful if he was able to get the process in frame. FYI, Michelin includes a larger plastic cover that you don’t apparently use for a j hook installation on the Toyota .
Yeah, these wipers performed ok on our car. They did not maintain perfect blade connection with the glass, leaving water behind. I would not recommend these. I would spend $12 to $15 per blade to get the better performance.
Just compare the Michelin Costco wipers to your current wipers on your car. You should be able to decipher which parts match up to what you have pre-existing. Install the michelins to match what you had before. Hope that helps, good luck!
Your right these don't last very long and only work mediocre at best! They are only good for a cheap and temporary fix. I usually use $15 Michelins or Rain-X wipers from Walmart and they always perform and last as expected! 💪
please note your video "framing of your action" is outside the frame of the video . . . your verbal description is solid, but not backed up with the visual . . . ((( these videos not capturing the actual work being described is so common . . . )))
Dude, nice of you to make a tutorial but you should take it down and start over and get somebody to record you while you're changing it. The cameraman did not deliver.
I have the same wiper blades but you glossed over taking the cover off ,which happens to be half the job of putting new blades on. So thanks for nothing.
Good, I am glad that you were able to get the job done. Most people say I did not go into good enough detail with the plastic clips and wiper arm install. Good job!
Stupid question here: Did you have to remove the cover for the first blade that you installed? You did not do so in the film, you only removed the second cover. Could you clarify please? Thank you
I found the Goodyear wiper install easier. I thought the Michelin would be the same (not). It is easy once you figure out to take out the pre-install bracket.
I have 4 different clips to hold on the wiper blade but none seem to be able to hold anything. Toyota 2010 Corolla. All looks like plastic junk with no purpose to me.
Bro what, doesn’t even film the part where he puts the windshield wiper on. Nice tutorial
I was thinking the same thing lol
Haha right!
...you gotta keep watching it. He knows cars better than video editing 🤪
Ahlie. Like what the heck
@@Tahania1 000
explaining we have to remove the cover on the new blades, and which way is up, made all the difference!
Same the cover kept getting in the way and the instructions were useless
1a
Egads! I just watched a bunch of videos and you are the first one to tell me to take the stupid cover off first. Thanks! Just got my new ones on. And ignore all the negative comments. You actually helped me get mine on.
Thank you so much. Nice to finally hear some positive feedback on this video! Glad you got the covers on. Nice job!
Wrong, the camera doses not show the install of the connector to the J-part of the arm and after a mechanic put it on for me, now I can't even get it off.
Need video to show more detail of the install -- much of it was outside viewer
Thank you this is the only video that helped after 5+ videos. As a woman who constantly struggles to put on my wiper blades, (even after the 5th time) this was super helpful!
Thanks, glad it help you.
What does that have to do with being a woman?
The most important part of installing we see his hands and not the blade. Sickkkkkk video
If only the camera was pointing at the connection when you installed it...oh well.
Thanks for the tutorial. Im blown away by all the as-holes who leave negative comments so unnecessary to talk shi- @!

I agree with Sarina. It was a good effort, but you would have to actually have the camera on the action, dude.
I can't even take the cover off 🤣🤣
The cover on the new wipers have little plastic tabs on each side. All you have to do is slightly pull or spread the plastic cover and the plastic tabs will clear and come off. Good luck!
Thanks! it was a mystery until I saw your vid. Knowledge is power.
Glad I could help!

@@JDMRightHandDrive Perfect example of Murphy's Law, lol. I liked the guys advice above. Good luck with "Take 2", lol.👍👍
Yes! I experienced it, on freeway my wiper blade off from hitch. Thank you,your opinion matters 😊.
Thank you for the tutorial 🙏🏼
Thank you, now I feel much better. I try to figure out how to replace that stupid wiper blade.
Oh so the cover comes off, nice. I broke the dang thing due to the excellent instructions they provided. Very useful video.
Glad the video helped you out.
Need better camera view (some of the fields are cut off) and more details, slow down.
Appreciate the effort, but you didn’t show the full image of how the blade goes back on:(
Thanks for the feed back. I need to re film this video and make it better.
That's what I wanted to see, but it was cut off and not fully on camera.
Brother show your hand movements.
We couldn’t see what you were doing
not enough light and it would help if you focus the camera on the clip
Actually I spoke to soon, my apologies. Your video was sooooooooo helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Slow it down & show areas of contact more closely.
I tried to follow 'instruction", in frustration almost hurt several innocent people. Watched your video. Thank you! Your video saved lives!
Glad it helped
You are forever goated my guy thanks! 😊
Appreciate it
Thanks for helping me with my install. I really like my new blades.
That's great 👍. Glad the video helped you out!
Sorry my friend. Don’t do more videos ...
Come on man, too much talking and the main things of how to install it are not clearly visible
3rd video I’ve found that moves the camera out of view in the most important part🤦🏻
Putting them on is the easy part put the hook around the curve and make sure it locks in, the part he did show that was the important thing was taking that face plate off, the damn directions says it lifts up and trying to do that you feel you're gunna break something so he showed exactly what was needed

Didn't show how they went on?
Why do we now need youtube videos to figure out how to install new wipe blades? We just over-engineer everything! Thanks for this video!
Damn the skyline tho bro 😎🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I love my Skyline it took me along time 17+ years to finally get by dream car! Thanks for checking out my channel.👍
Remove the cover that was confusing
Can't figure out before. After watching your vedio job is done in 2 minutes
Awesome to hear that, glad the video helped.

It's a Costco brand. Pretty easy. Just grab a towel to place on the windshield and remove the wipers.
Well done! The instructions for these don't tell you to take off the cover, which I eventually figured out on my own. But would have saved a lot of time just watching this first.
Glad it helped
I was waiting for the installation
The video helped me a lot. Great work
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks!
You bet!
Thank you for this video
Could not see the 2 most important steps!
Video helped me alot. I broke the clip on my short blade trying to figure it out on my own with the lousy instruction booklet. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!(subbed! )
I must've failed cuz I'm not getting the install
My brand new blades chatter a lot when it's raining. Dissappointed in Michelin. Will try another brand

Sir can not even see because your was not showing clearly video it was not enough help full but gets idea
Thanks anyway
Sorry for that, I put this video together thinking no one would ever watch it. I just picked up 2 new sets of wipers. I am going to remake the video spend time on the process make sure the camera is on the shot.
short and sweet
Thank you!
Left confused. Just baught Michelin Wiper Blades at Costco. There are 3 other parts in the package besides the wiper itself and the cover. Not sure if I need to use all 3 parts or just the top cover after it’s installed. And not even sure which one of these parts is the cover.
I will buy another set of blades and remake the video explaining in greater detail!
Good video, I already screwed up, the michellin blade instructions on picture 1 say to lift lever I did exactly that and the assembly broke.
These are a little flimsy. At least they are not to expensive and Costco will take one back if you break it.
The Micheline instructions are only for people with excellent eyes. They ought to print it larger. Their Q-code instructions didn't launch on my smar phone. Useless.
The camera is not properly aligned
Ok thanks, I will redo the video.
I need to know how to get the original j hook connection off to put the straight arm one on but you just skipped right past it
Thank you.!
You are very welcome!

Is it possible to double 👎👎 a video?
Thanks for shaking the camera and not showing the most important part and purpose of the whole video. Cheers 🥂
THIS VIDEO DID NOT HELP ME AT ALL. YOU LITERALLY DIDNT EVEN SHOW HOW TO APPLY A WINDSHEILD WIPER. WTF
My michelin wiper looks different, not like here. I do not understand why michelin is making staff difficult.
It would have been more helpful if he was able to get the process in frame. FYI, Michelin includes a larger plastic cover that you don’t apparently use for a j hook installation on the Toyota .
You are not showing the most important part of the whole explanation. How to clip it? Learn to manage a camera
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes but my wiper does not drive water from windshield I have a same name wiper
Yeah, these wipers performed ok on our car. They did not maintain perfect blade connection with the glass, leaving water behind. I would not recommend these. I would spend $12 to $15 per blade to get the better performance.
Your camera was not filming the part where we could see what you were doing. Your Film did not help.
You did not show how the arm get inserted. Re do it again .
I will redo the video, thanks!
I like your presentation and explanation. Thanks .
This video showed me absolutely nothing. Get you camera together
You didn’t capture a picture of the area where the blade connects to the arm?
Umm soo mine came with like tons of parts and Idk how to out then together
Just compare the Michelin Costco wipers to your current wipers on your car. You should be able to decipher which parts match up to what you have pre-existing. Install the michelins to match what you had before. Hope that helps, good luck!
Cannot figure out the attachment portion which is the most important part.
I am going to remake the video this weekend. Sorry for not showing enough detail to help you out!
Bro casually has 2 GTRS
Just a suggestion.... tell what type of connector type you're working on!! I have a 2020 Subaru Impreza. Doesn't have the hook type!
I've had the Michelin blades on my car for 6 months and the frames on both if them have cracked. One fell off already.
Your right these don't last very long and only work mediocre at best! They are only good for a cheap and temporary fix. I usually use $15 Michelins or Rain-X wipers from Walmart and they always perform and last as expected! 💪
Nice like the video
Thanks for the visit
I can't remove the cover on the new blade. What is trick for doing this ? I don't see or feel any release clip.
Bad camera work, video needs a do-over. Can't even see what the wiper connector is doing when it goes into the J- arm.
Thanks David, I will re do this video soon. Appreciate your feed back.
Camera wasn't focused on the right spot!!! Should've reviewed before posting.
Try to watch a recording tutorial
please note your video "framing of your action" is outside the frame of the video . . . your verbal description is solid, but not backed up with the visual . . . ((( these videos not capturing the actual work being described is so common . . . )))
I agree
Dude, nice of you to make a tutorial but you should take it down and start over and get somebody to record you while you're changing it. The cameraman did not deliver.
They need to bring back the thumbs down rating, so we can see what not to watch.
I have the same wiper blades but you glossed over taking the cover off ,which happens to be half the job of putting new blades on. So thanks for nothing.
Good tip!
I did it!! I did it!!! 🙌🏾🤸🏾♀️💃🏽😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you
Good, I am glad that you were able to get the job done. Most people say I did not go into good enough detail with the plastic clips and wiper arm install. Good job!
excelente
Thanks so much.
Stupid question here: Did you have to remove the cover for the first blade that you installed?
You did not do so in the film, you only removed the second cover.
Could you clarify please?
Thank you
Really? Didn't even have the camera on the subject. Poor
I found the Goodyear wiper install easier. I thought the Michelin would be the same (not). It is easy once you figure out to take out the pre-install bracket.
Good call!
Camera was too low!
Dude my whole day was ruined bc of these f'in things. Off to get another set bc broke the other ones. Thanks for the help. Looks so simple. 😩
I can't see anything you actually did with a blade. Your video is cutting off!!!!
I have 4 different clips to hold on the wiper blade but none seem to be able to hold anything. Toyota 2010 Corolla. All looks like plastic junk with no purpose to me.
so once it locks in we dont have to use any of the parts that come with it? are those just spares just in case?
Thank you, clearly explained and concise.
Thanks, It is nice to get a good comment on this video. Most people just say mean things about how horrible it was.
You don’t even show the most important part!!
sorry, I will redo the video showing the J arm attachment process.
This guy didn’t even show how to put the wipers on…
Dude we can’t even see where you attach it, your video isn’t showing that part in the lense
Worst camera job ever. Didnt show the connecting aspect at all. Lame.
You are awesome bro. Thanks!
Wtf was this you literally showed nothing
That cover piece threw me off
Glad you got it, thanks for watcing.
You don't show how to put part on.
Recording everything except for what's useful.... Intelligence these days...
Michelin tires, really good. Michelin wiper blades, JUNK.
Bro be sensible
