I just tried installing the Michelin Guardian+ wipers from Costco and the model that is sold currently (Spring '24) does not fit on the 2020 Ascent. I'm using the correct included adapter (B) for a 19mm wiper arm receiver, but on the arm there are small pins on each sides that prevent the Michelin wiper from sliding in and locking.
This does not work on my 2021 Ascent with the 2023 Michelin blades. The adapter you used is not included any longer and the new adapters are too wide to fit the car’s wiper arm.
yep, I've used these before but found out the hard way today that they stopped including an adapter that fits the Ascent. Screw you, Michelin and whoever the maker of these blades is.
Subaru’s needlessly deviating from the norm. “Look at me, my wipers don’t connect the way those boring hook type ones do.” Same with the 5x100 rims, but at least the newer ones are moving to the more conventional 5x114.3
Thank you very much! It truly is easy because of your advice! I bought the same $9.99 blades from Costco and used them for my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. It worked exactly as you demonstrated. Your video was well done. You’re a good teacher!
THANK YOU!!! I’m in the SF Bay Area & we just had that huge storm on NYE. I didn’t realize how bad my wipers were until then. Now we’ve got a bigger one tomorrow! Luckily I did get these on sale at Costco. Most of the other videos showed it with a hook design. Thankfully it was just the same for the driver’s side! 💪🏽
Thanks a ton for this video. I have VW GTI 2019 and I was struggling to install the Michelin Guardian Wiper blade that I bought from Costco. After watching this video I was able to install it in less than 5 mins. Applicate your help!!!
So I bought these and installed the connector to it, my question is how do I take the connector out since I don’t need that part because mines are the hooks. It’s on pretty tight and won’t come out. Any ideas??
I think I got a package with the cover already on even though a spacer was inside. I cannot lift the cover up at all in order to install it. Will be returning this blade to Costco.
I was very happy when I saw this video. Although I really appreciate your effort in putting this video out, Michelin does not provide all those adapters. I checked four packages and none of them have it.
Recently purchased a newer model of Michelin wiper blades "guardian". Included adapter looks a bit different and does not fit Subaru holder. I know for sure previous (3-4 years ago) model of the same Michelin blade perfectly fit the same car, just like on this video. Very frustrating :)
Thanks for the guide. I got the older wiper blade model from Costco and those don't fit. I went and exchanged for the newer model at Costco and they're happy to do it.
@@TheMolassesCookies Same problem here. I broke down and looked at the instructions. There was a BC part shown which breaks down into B and C depending on the application. It almost fits, but isn't quite right and won't go in the last 2-3mm to click in. Very frustrating.
Don’t waster your time. It doesn’t work. Purchased for 3 cars. Two done in 10 minutes spend a lot of time plus had a mechanic neighbor help. It doesn’t work on the Accent.
Thank you. Just could not figure it out from the instruction, but watching what you demonstrated...took me less than a minute. Great job.

Didn't work on 2019

Made it supper easy didn’t realize there was a “third” part tucked into one of the casings. Thank you!

Same process for 2020 Forester. Thanks for posting. And thanks to Costco too!
2019 Forrester has same type of arm fastener.
Video was spot on and made the job a snap (pun intended).
Thank you for this very good instructional DIY. Im a BMW guy and you explain better then most DIY BMW CZcamsrs Thank again
Thank you for this video bro it helped me get these wipers on my wife's crosstrek before she leaves town :) it's supposed to rain this weekene
Thank you! Worked like a charm on my 2021 Outback.
Thank you for your help 😊 I watched other videos first and was confused 🤔 I bought Michelin wiper blades. LoL 😆
Thank You so much. Without this video I ran to Advance Auto parts to buy a pair for Subaru because I didn't know how to use the adapter.
Thank you. The instructions performed like a hand made swiss clock.
Thanks a lot, worth to mention that this works for Mazda cx-5 2019 too
Thank you 🙏🏼 finally my question 🙋🏽 has been answered
Thanks for sharing it helped a lot.
The thing is I didn't get any covers.
Thanks for the video, so helpful.

Very good video, thanks.
Separate topic: What are the fog lights on both sides? How hard is it to install those?

Subaru says in manual you have to use their blades because they will interfere with eyesight system. Is this true?
Subaru 2019 Ascent window washer line is on arm and head hits adaptor?
Returning mine to Costco, adapter not slim enough for 2020 subaru ascent 😢 would have been a great deal
I have the same problem, it doesn’t fit in😢
So can you tell me which one do you buy after?
I did it! Thanks 😊
Try it with the rainx. No adapter the fits the subaru.

Purchased Michelin Guardian blade from Costco for my 19 Subaru Ascent but it does not have the parts you show in this video and does not work
How about the rear blade? It's totally different than the front blades.
Where do those extra caps go? You didn’t use it?
Thanks SO MUCH!
Huge thanks
Not a chance I would have figured this out from the directions. You were clear and most helpful!!
Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
This works for the '19 Forester too
Are these good in snow?
do you know if the new wiper models are compatible?
I haven't tried but there could be issues as I'm noticing on some comments.
@@tangojulietjourney6068 I think they are. They do have a push button connector, and a piece is removeable to make it fit 2 different sizes of them.

Dude the 26 didn’t come with all the parts
I don’t think they do anymore it’s weird af. I am pissed

correct and Michelin was no use too as sent useless video after calling
Thank you very much.
