This hybrid-style wiper blade combines the flexibility and contoured shape of other blade styles. Hard plastic cover keeps debris out of blade and SmartFlex suspension ensures maximum windshield contact for a smooth wipe in rain, snow, and ice.
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:

Hi I'm Shane with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Mitchell and Stealth Ultra, Hybrid Style Windshield Wiper blades on our 2013 Ford Explorer. Replacing your windshield wipers is gonna ensure you have a clear windshield during those rain, icy, and snowy conditions. Couple things I really like about these windshield wiper blades is they're fully covered. Unlike the open style that's gonna prevent ice and snow buildup. They're gonna be aerodynamic, what's that gonna do is that's gonna prevent the lift while we're going down the highway or the blade from coming off of the windshield.
Also, if you notice each cover is gonna be split in two places. What that does is it allows that cover to flex as well as windshield changes shape or as the windshield wiper blade is going across your windshield. When the windshield changes shape that cover's gonna flex to allow natural pressure from one side of the blade to the other.Each blade is gonna have eight points of reticulation to help maximize that downward pressure and help evenly distribute that downward pressure from one side of the blade to the other. The squeegee is gonna have a graphite coating to prevent skipping and chattering in those white rainy conditions.Now that we've gone over some of the features let me show you how to get them installed. We can start by removing our old wiper blade.
It's a good idea to have a piece of cardboard, something like that, and slide it underneath the one that you're changing because this arm is metal. If it slips out of your hand after you take your blade off this, if it smacks your windshield, could potentially break it. On our new blade we're gonna have a little piece like this, we'll just need to pop it off. We're gonna spin it upside down like that and we're just gonna push. Just like that.
We're gonna have a little piece like this, this tab will slide. We're gonna push that tab and we'll slide that out like that. Put our vacuum on the first, slide it up and push that into place. Take our new blade, and we're gonna pop it on like that. Now you're just gonna repeat that same process for the the other one.That's gonna complete our look at and installation on the Mitchell and Stealth Ultra, Hybrid Style Windshield Wiper blades on our 2013 Ford Explorer..

Wiper blades are still going strong and streak free after a year of service on my F350. My truck is outside 24/7 during all seasons. The blades help provide a clear windshield and unimpaired view of the road. Note: I also use a windshield sealant twice a year to keep the glass water repellant and smooth to reduce friction. I am very satisfied with how these blades are holding so far.
Ive used these for several years they are durable and maintain hood windshield contact and a very effective wipe. The outter cover helpsvprevent snow and ice buildup and also givr ghe wipers a clean look.
Terrible. Used their page to determine wipers that fit my three vehicles and purchased. Received the wipers in decent ship time. Went to install and wipers did not fit on two of my three vehicles. Due to taking the old wipers off, they clip broke, so I had no choice but to run down to [online] and pay $31ea for wipers that did fit. I consider that very poor service if you recommend wiper blades that don’t fit the vehicle. Cost me additional time, money, and effort.
I will not use these two wipers until next year but I am sure they will be great if they are anything like my Michelin tires. Ordered them to get to $100 and free shipping.

I placed the wipers on the vehicle during this years rains and it works great and the price was exceptional.
Fast shipping and reasonable price.
Arrived one day after expected and the outer box was partially opened. However, the wiper blades were not damaged. Excellent price and delivery arrived almost at the expected date. Will order from you again.
Item was as advertised, delivered on time and works great.
I thought manufacturer directions were poor. Watched an etrailer video for more detail to get them installed. Installation took far longer than I was expecting.
Purchased Michelin windshield wipers for my Chevy Silverado pick up truck. Installation overall was pretty straightforward. I received the windshield wipers very quickly.
I checked on the Internet for reviews on this particular windshield wiper and received great reviews.
The price of the windshield wipers was less money than what I could find on other online retailers.
I have bought michelin stealth wipers for last 15 years. they last 2-3 years . good wipers
I've ordered multiple times from etrailer and haven't been disappointed with their products. Customer service is spot on.
Arrived sooner than expected and everything is in tact. So far so good!
I found these hard to find wiper blades on etrailer.com. They were delivered extremely fast in exellent condition and very well packaged.
Just what I wanted. Thanks.
I looked far and wide for these and they fit perfect and come with the nuts. I found a great company at etrailer and I'll be back to buy as much as I can from this very helpful and informative company.
No problems with ordering or delivery, pricing is excellent. Project was not the standard application.
Good product
Order arrived on the day promised. The first 100 miles the tires worked great. Haven't used the new wipers. Always a pleasure to do business with this company
Needed wipers for my truck. etrailer stocks them and shipped them promptly. As always food fast service with quality choices. Excellent customer service.
OEM fit for the Benz, and less expensive than local auto parts stores even after paying shipping. Thanks etrailer.com
These are great quality wipers. I have been using them for years and would highly recommend them.

the windshield wipers that i received left streaks on the windshield shortly after i installed them
just what I wanted
These were easy to install myself and are still working great 1+ year later!
After these got “broken in” they worked well. They initially made some noise and I was thinking of returning them. Install was easy, 10 minutes tops (both wipers total).
Do you have a question about this Windshield Wiper?
