Today, on this 2006 Chevrolet Express van, we're going to install part number MCH8522. This is a Michelin Stealth Ultra windshield wiper blade. A few things to know about these windshield wiper blades is that it has an aerodynamic shape to help make it slip through the air and prevent the wiper from being lifted by the wind. There's a graphite coating on the squeegee, and the natural-rubber squeegee has a stainless-steel flexor built into it to help keep its shape. The frame has a rust-resistant powder-coated finish to protect it. To install our new wiper blades, we're going to have to remove the original ones. Typically, there's a small tab you have to push up or down to remove it from the arm.
Sometimes, it's a good idea to turn it at an angle like this and slide them off. All right, we'll go ahead and take our new blade. We'll line up the arm with the easy-lock connector and slide it in place. You may have to rock it around a little bit to make it fit. Then push it all the way in till it clicks into place. We'll go ahead and set it in place, and you can see how the wiper blade contours to the windshield.
It has multiple pressure points along the bottom edge, and you can see how the whole hard shell on the outside actually flexes with the blade. This gives extra protection against snow and ice. We're done with our driver side. Let's go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger side. In just a few minutes, our windshield wipers are installed.
With that, that'll finish it for part number MCH8522 from Michelin, the Stealth Ultra windshield wiper blade, on our 2006 Chevrolet Express van. .
