Features:
The Michelin Stealth Ultra hybrid-style wiper blade for your vehicle guarantees excellent results when it comes to keeping your windshield clean. It combines the contoured, aerodynamic shape of a beam-style wiper with the flexibility and multiple pressure points of a frame-style wiper to produce a blade that won't miss spots or cause streaking.
The Stealth uses patented SmartFlex frame arms and hinges for superior windshield-cleaning results. The 2 secondary arms flex to allow the blade to conform to the shape of your windshield better than standard frames can. The secondary arms also provide strong lateral support to the wiper. The SmartFlex hinges are designed to work together with the secondary arms, enhancing their ability to hold down the ends of the blade. The secondary arms transfer downward pressure to 4 tertiary arms, resulting in a total of 8 pressure points along the blade for even windshield contact. The SmartFlex system ensures that the blade applies pressure along its entire length, no matter the shape of your windshield or the pressure exerted by your wiper's arms
The Stealth Ultra has a hard cover that prevents the wiper blade from accumulating sleet, snow, and leaves. By resisting buildup - and adding to the overall strength of the blade - the hard cover ensures that the wiper can weather the tough challenges of Mother Nature and consistently keep your windshield clear.
The hard cover's hinges work independently of the hinges in the wiper frame, which allows the blade to flex so that it conforms perfectly to the shape of your windshield. Because the wiper makes consistent contact with your windshield along the length of the blade, it can completely remove sleet, rain, and snow with no missed spots.
The cover has an aerodynamic shape to resist the effects of wind. This ensures that the blade resists being lifted by the wind and maintains even pressure on your windshield at all times.
The natural rubber squeegee is made with proprietary processing techniques to ensure that it outperforms the competition. And the squeegee has a graphite coating to make sure the wiper glides smoothly across your windshield. This graphite coating helps to eliminate skipping, which can leave behind a washboard pattern of water. It also helps keep your wiper quiet so you won't be annoyed by squealing or chattering sounds.
To install the blade, rotate the connector piece on the blade to fit the type of connector that's on your car. (Some wiper arm styles require that you replace the standard connector on the blade with one of the included alternate connectors.) Then clip the wiper blade onto the car's connector. The wiper blade will click into place so that you know it's securely installed.
The Stealth Ultra can be easily installed on most types of wiper arms, including those with the following connector styles:

Today we'll be taking a look at the Michelin Stealth Ultra windshield wiper blade, available in a size to fit your vehicle right here at etrailer dot com. As you can see with my old wiper blades, it's a streaky, messy wipe. Check out our new Michelin Stealth Ultra wiper blades. Nice. This hybrid-style blade provides flexibility with a hard cover. The Smart Flex suspension insures that 8 pressure points provide consistent contact with your windshield. The hard plastic cover is durable and helps prevent snow and ice from building up on the blade. The hard cover is hinges so it will not interfere with the suspension.
It features a natural rubber, graphite-coated squeegee that provides a clean, quiet, streak-free wipe. The aerodynamic shape prevents the wiper blade from being lifted by the wind and the black powder coat finish helps resist rust and corrosion. Wiper blade sizes may vary from driver side to passenger side, so you want to be sure to check with your owner's manual or etrailer dot com's fit guide to see what size you need. Now that we've gone over some features, I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed. It's going to come with everything you need to connect it to your top lock, side lock, side pin, regular pin and J-style wiper blade arms. The vehicle we'll be working with today uses the J-style adapter.
All of the adapters clip onto the rod about the same way. We'll clip it on like so. Now we can head over to our vehicle. We're here on the driver's side. Let's go ahead and lift up our arm. Then we can open up our blade like so.
This is going to reveal a little button we can push to release it from the adapter. We're just going to push in underneath, and now I'm going to push the arm towards the blade, like that. Once we've got it slid off the adapter, we can remove the whole blade. It's very simple. When changing your wiper blades, it's not a bad idea to put some padding down on your windshield just in case the arm swings back and hits it. That way, it doesn't crack the windshield.
We can grab our new Michelin wiper blades. I'm going to angle the adapter up like so. I'll bring the arm through and then I'm going to clip it on the adapter and pull out until it snaps into place, like that. As you can see, it's locked in, it's not coming out. We can go ahead and lower it down and repeat the same process for the passenger side. That's going to complete our look at the Michelin Stealth Ultra windshield wiper blade.
