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:

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. .

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.
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 have bought michelin stealth wipers for last 15 years. they last 2-3 years . good wipers
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.
Arrived sooner than expected and everything is in tact. So far so good!
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've ordered multiple times from etrailer and haven't been disappointed with their products. Customer service is spot on.
Just what I wanted. Thanks.
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.
I found these hard to find wiper blades on etrailer.com. They were delivered extremely fast in exellent condition and very well packaged.
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.
Good product
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.
These are great quality wipers. I have been using them for years and would highly recommend them.
just what I wanted
No problems with ordering or delivery, pricing is excellent. Project was not the standard application.
Went on easy enough. Waiting to see how long they last in Florida sun
OEM fit for the Benz, and less expensive than local auto parts stores even after paying shipping. Thanks etrailer.com
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).
These were easy to install myself and are still working great 1+ year later!
Great quality! Prompt shipping and great customer service/follow-through! All that with a very fair price!
Great product delivered in timely manner especially during this virus crisis time.
