Wiper Blade Specs

[colinl]

I installed a set of these about 6 weeks ago:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQ6HBRVV

they come with an extra set of blades and so far are working well. if they actually perform and last as long as a typical wiper, it'll be a great deal. we will see.

I didn't like the Michelin wipers I got a year ago at costco because they were almost an inch shorter than stock. probably a cost cutting move, if I had to guess. (if a wiper blade is shorter than spec, you're using less material, which should cost less.)

I've purchased the Michelin Guardian+ blades for my 2022 Maverick from Costco and they don't fit. They come with a C adapter while the blades from Ford use the B adapter. The C adapter is wider than the B and won't slide into the arm.

Did Ford change the wiper arms after the 2022 model?

It's also interesting that the Michelin website doesn't show blades available for the 2022 model but the book at Costco shows they do.

I'm going to call Michelin and see if they can provide the B adapter but the last time I called about an adapter for a Nissan Sentra they weren't helpful.

The Costco blades fit.
Bosch Clear Advantage 22CA Wiper Blade fits.

mine came with all the adapters. you just have to futz with them to convert a to b or c to b, or something like that.

but even after you get them installed, you'll see that they are shorter than stock.

I'll say it again. Save yourself some trouble, time, and money:

There is an easy way to get the right ones. I've been ordering from Aero Wiper Blades for several years now. These are high quality and have worked well for me in all seasons. Oh yeah, just $20 for the pair! Just tell them the Make/Model/Year and they'll send you the correct ones. Aero Wiper

Had to change my blades after 1 year and 5 months in Florida. Found the Bosch Icon that comes with 3 different arm adapters . Bought 22" for driver side and 21" for passenger. Use adapter #4.

I’ve always used Bosch icons
They hold up great

The Costco Michelin's are top quality beam blades and come with every adapter possible. I stock up when they are on sale (last month) $7 each.

Are you saying you bought Bosch wipers from Costco? I bought Michelin from Costco and they don't fit.

Mine only had the C adapter, which I switched to, and couldn't get it on.

Okay, this is embarrassing. I looked at the instructions again more closely, and I mean without my glasses so they were only a few inches from my face, and finally noticed the B adapter was covered by the C adapter.

Thanks for all the replies!

I'm a big fan of Bosch Icon wipers, since I've had them last longer than any wiper I've tried. Try the Bosch Icon blades 22OE & 21OE, they fit perfect with the included #4 adapter. Just pry off the pre installed adapter and install the #4 adapter. Whole process took about 15 mins...most of that time was figuring out which adapter to use. I know these wipers cost more, but for me it's worth it, especially with the pain in the ass wiper mount Ford uses.

I picked up a pair of these as well and I've been using them for about a week up here in the Pacific Northwest. I'm very, very impressed. They replaced a Rain X product that was mediocre at best.

Yep, those are the ones I've been buying for a couple years now . As I suggested here,back in June. You can't go wrong.

PIAA blades come with the correct adapter (B) for Mavs. The best blades, IMO.
