- Installing a Michelin guardian premium all season windshield wiper blade from Costco on my 2017 Ford Explorer. The directions are not very good, so hopefully this video helps people.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Who would have thought wipers would be so difficult? I was ready to throw them across the yard!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to create and share this video. You made the task easy.
You gotta love CZcams and individuals like you for sharing your talents. Thank you.
lol talent😂
Thanks, I would have never figure this out without your video!!
Thanks for your video. I AM RETURNING THESE!!!!!! Too much hassle to change a wiper blade.
Thank you what a pain. Your help with the adapter saved me a bunch of time👍
God bless you Pal!! I was just struggling with my explorer, and this video made my day! 😎
Glad I helped!
Nasir, you're full of shit. The video was a demonstration on how NOT to make a video holding the camera while it swings off the subject matter.
Thank you for posting this. Helped greatly!
Took a long time but after rewatching your video my husband and I finally got it!
Thanks!
Judi Torricelli glad you all figured it out. These are a pain in the you know what!
Thanks, mate... don't think I could have installed without this video. :) ;)
Thanks so much! This was the best help. I could not have done it without your video 😊
Glad I helped you out!
Thanks a lot worked for my wifes 2018 focus!
Glad it helped! Good to know it’s similar for some other ford vehicles 👍🏻
Thanks for the explanation. I just bought mine from Costo and they're going back. They put one piece of plastic on that must come out. Who knew!
Then another piece has to go on. Who knew! Then a small piece of plastic has to come off, but save it to put it back on? This is worst than a rubics cube. It'a all going back to costco, broken or not! Thanks for the confidence in that I realize I bought the wrong wiper blades. Remember, in a couple years or so, and probably in the winter when it's snowing, I will have to remember how the damn shit has to come off. NO THANK YOU, MICHELIN!
Mine didn’t come with side lock connectors
Was finally able to do it thanks to you
Why not just a simple hook. All this for some damn windshield wipers bro
They have complicated wiper blades
The GD quest for universal fit blades with 20 adapters! F**k me!! I'm taking this back and let autozone do it.
You are completely correct in that the instructions are complete garbage. For me I have an additional problem in that the three adapters I got are different than the ones you show. I am going to try and find out if my blades are of a newer design.
Just a heads up, the reason the clip comes installed on the blade is because most manufacturers use that type of j hook attachment on the wiper blade arms. Almost all vehicles I have changed blades on have been the j hook style.
Not on my 2016 Ford Escaple.
You saved me from humiliation bro! I thought I was going crazy. Thank you for sharing! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Glad I could help, believe me I was right there with you bro when I first tried. The fact that this video has over 8k views leads me to believe we weren’t alone
I have a 2019 mustang and I followed the video from Michelin. Used the piece A3 only and it was a 2 minute job once I found out how to determine which piece was A3. The part number is printed on the underside. I didn’t use that small top piece.
Unfortunately, this video does NOT show the current parts supplied with this wiper (which do NOT fit 2016 Ford wiper arm)
Great video, I was ready to go back to Costco complaining about there defective product
Glad I could be of help. I almost took mine back to Costco also. That said once you figure it out and get them on they are great.
At 1:04 that is preinstalled is what fits most cars - this is why its there
It's hard to see what you are doing sonetimes
Thanks the fact that I had to find the right combination of parts to work in my particular vehicle was not evident in the instructions. 40 minutes of my life that I will not get back. I no longer by my tires at Costco and now no more of this ridiculous assemble your self crap either.
Worked for my Toyota Avalon (Doesn't have the "J" hook) Same as video.
I just broke mine because it thell you to lift that tab but it broke right off.
So return it to Costco
Thank you for explaining attachments that was stopping me. And yes the directions with blades sucks
Thanks dad
Extremely helpful! I'm a do-it-yourself kind of woman with better than average mechanical skills. As you stated, the instructions are worthless.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Glad I could help!
My Michelin 26” Guardian wiper from Costco does not look exactly like this. 🤔
Oh god please tell me they didn’t make a bad product different and equally difficult 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
RLWSNOOK410 It wouldn’t have been so bad if they just had thorough instructions. I felt like an idiot trying to change these, but once I realized all the extra pieces were irrelevant and you had to use your hands to pry the pieces apart in order to expose where the hooks settles then it only took 30 seconds to install. Too bad it took me 20+ minutes to figure that out. I hope no one was watching me, otherwise I’ll have to surrender my man card!
Mine from Costco dont look like this either. Still cant get them on
My junk ass Michelin wipers from costco didn't have that adapter in the package for my explorer
Not the same as my 2011
Of coarse the part I wanted to see... was OFF CAMERA because people are trying to shoot video with 1 hand! Get a helper or a tripod!
My wiper arm is straight with a hole on the tab. Ford C-Max Hybrid 2013. Great car. Worthless blade adapters.
Very useless stupid graphics from Michelin I ended up breaking the tab luckily I had leftovers from other wipers. Please take your time and change your wipers in good lighting conditions before they break.
I appreciate your effort but you did almost all the important elements of this demonstration off camera. Every time you came to the part that is critical you say you can't do it with one hand and will show the result once complete. Good effort but not quite a bullseye...
Im sorry I tried to do my best showing you what I did and explaining.
Dude thanks, but get a Go Pro...
nice vid of your hands and wrists... very minimal functional value
You should make your own!
I appreciate the author's effort, but I found the camera work and explanation not helpful. I will take my car to the Ford dealer to change my blades. I will never again buy any Michelin product. Any company that builds an empire that includes this mechanism does not care enough about safety to get my business.
Sorry I couldn’t help you, and agree the blades are a pain to install.
