Much thanks. I've been trying to get this done for a hour. The included directions are cryptic and virtually useless. I spent half my time just looking for a RUclips to show me how. Finally found yours! Took all of 3 minutes to watch your video and get the job done.
Thank you for the simple directions! I struggled for an hour with the crappy instructions that came with the blades. Had them installed 5 minutes after watching your video.
I was today years old when I learned how to do this thanks to you. I’ve had new wipers for months in the garage and my husband said they didn’t for my fusion..all we had to do was change the clip! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much, Allan. There are so many videos showing how to install windshield wiper and the only one that helps me to replace wiper on 2014 Ford Escape is your clear and understandable instruction here.
excellent Instructions I struggled to understand the enclosed paper instructions for almost 45 minutes, watched your video and was able to do both sides in 5 min. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this video. I struggled for about 15 minutes, before I decided to watch a video. As you mention, the instructions are worthless. I started to watch 2 other videos on installing Michelin wipers, but they used different clips. Once I watched your video, it took me less than 5 minutes to install the wiper on my 2017 Ford Fusion. It is worth noting, that the wiper doesn't slid down on the arm quite as far. When it wipes, the track is about 3/4" higher than the old one. That doesn't cause any problems, but I thought that your viewers should know. Thanks again.
I can pull and rebuild your car engine. I can build you a house and do all of the electrical and plumbing. However, These wiper blades and instructions were not giving me a chance to succeed. You figured it out and made a clear and concise instructional video. You ARE THE MAN. Thank you. I thought I bought the wrong type for my 2014 Explorer. Thanks a gazillion !!!!!
Thank you! Ludicrous instructions from a company like Michelin. Have a Ford Focus and after struggling for 20 minutes found your video and finished the job in 3 minutes. After that it was Tequila time!👍
Thank you! I was having a hell of a time trying to figure this out. The instructions confused me even more. You made it extremely simple. Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for the video! I was a mechanic at Ford a long time ago, and couldn't easily figure it out, the Michelin site doesn't help. Glad I found your video. Every time I get Michelin wipers at Costco they change the adapters!!
2 hours and many cuss words and duct tape later trying to figure out the wipers I found this video and thank you soo much that was a lot easier then I thought and yes the directions are crap.
Thank you! You're right, the instructions that come with these wipers suck. Best video for Costco Michelin replacement wipers install for a Ford or Lincoln.
Allan - THANK YOU - I was about to return these to Costco and then found your video. Took about 2 minutes once I had your guidance. You wish the manufacturer would give better instructions - cuz like you said - their instructions were awful.
I want to remind folks to put a towel on the windshield at the "strike point" where the spring loaded wiper arm might hit. It is easy to bump the arm while you are trying to load the clip and it will slap down and crack the windshield, I know because it happened to me!
2018 Ford edge here. Dear god thank you. I got so frustrated before finding this video that I was mentally preparing to return them thinking I somehow bought incompatible ones.
Thank you for actually explaining you don't need the adapter pieces. I was so god damn frustrated because every other video just skimmed over that part with no explanation
Thank you very much, instructions did suck with Michelin, I knew I put mine on wrong, but I will fix it in the morning thanks to your video, I have a 2016 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor with wiper arms exactly like yours!! Thanks again for this video!!!
You are my super hero right now. My wife drives a Chevy Traverse with the same blade mounting mechanism and the prior blades didn't resemble this at all. You are right the paper manual is trash!
I really like your video. It helps me a lot. I have a Toyota Sequoia 2010. I have look at several videos and it didn't help. I was going to return it until I saw your video. Really appreciate it.
Thank you SO much for this video. I had the old style blades from Costco and could not figure out how to get these on. After watching your video, I had them on in minutes. It took me longer to figure out how to get the small adapter piece out that I had already put on the new wiper because I thought I needed it. Thank you again.
Very helpful video. This is exactly the setup for my 2019 Ford Fusion. I don't think I could have done it with the lousy instructions provided by Michelin.
Exactly!! I have a 2019 Ford Fusion. your instructions, saved me!!! I could not figure it out from the flimsy paper guide included. Many thanks to you.
Thank you for this video Allan. Perfect for my 2013 Ford Fusion. Impossible task until you see how it is done. First one i spent 45 mins with the printed instructions and gave up. Days later i found this video and both were on in less that 5 minutes.
Right up to when I pressed the correct adapter I did not believe it would work, then click it was on. I didn't think it was actually on far enough but it was. Thank you.
OMG!! Thanks! The video I watched first (actually for my 2015 Explorer) was so hard to follow (like the instructions) that I almost kicked my dog😳 Thank the CarGods that I found your video! Same exact wipers! Took me 15 minutes to mess with it, another 15 with the first video, and just 5 minutes once I found your video!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Please don't kick your dog. Your dog is the only one who will love you forever. A buddy was once complaining that his girlfriend didn't like his dog, and was giving him an ultimatum. Another friend told him, "Here's what you do. You lock both of them in the trunk for an hour, then let them out. See which one still wants to kiss your face. That's the one you keep."
2013 Escape. I used Michelin silicone blades, only came with 1 adapter but it case your confused, take the old one off like the video shows, don’t replace the clip that’s on the new wiper. Slide on and snap. Good luck lol I know it’s confusing sometimes
FYI, if you scan the QR code in Costco or on the instructions it will take you to actual video for you specific car model wipe install. I got mine installed in like then 5 mins without breaking anything.
I'm surprised they were using that style wiper arm on the 2012 Escape because my 2012 Fusion was still using the old style hook which was so much easier. My 2018 Fusion has the same style as the one in your video. I also tried using those Michelin brand wipers and the damn thing just wouldn't stay on. Tried using that adapter and still no luck. Got one at Costco on sale for $8 and the dealer wants $20 per.
I was lost at first on your video but saw that the middle adapter you were talking about is already installed on my blade. Going to try to see if this works now. I also think the next time I am at Costco I am going to read them the riot act about incompetent instructions with the products they sell. This has been an issue going on for years now and somehow no one had done anything about it.
The instructions were beyond useless. I got so frustrated by using those garbage instructions and could not get my wipe blade installed on my 2014 Fusion. Thank you so much. I was using the wrong adapter piece so it wouldn’t lock correctly.
Excellent video, the instructions that come with the blades really do suck! Installed them on a 2009 Escape and would have given up had it not been for this video!
Much thanks. I've been trying to get this done for a hour. The included directions are cryptic and virtually useless. I spent half my time just looking for a RUclips to show me how. Finally found yours! Took all of 3 minutes to watch your video and get the job done.
best of the videos showing how to install michelin wiper blades. you should do one on how to take them off now
Thank you for the simple directions! I struggled for an hour with the crappy instructions that came with the blades. Had them installed 5 minutes after watching your video.
I was today years old when I learned how to do this thanks to you. I’ve had new wipers for months in the garage and my husband said they didn’t for my fusion..all we had to do was change the clip! Thank you so much!
This was the best video for a senior citizen woman who never could figure it out until I saw this bravo
I tried to install the wipers for a few minutes and decided some kind soul must have made a video of this. Thanks.
Thank You! This worked on my son's 2017 Ford C Max! We couldn't figure it out until we watched your video! Spot on instructions!
Thank you very much, Allan. There are so many videos showing how to install windshield wiper and the only one that helps me to replace wiper on 2014 Ford Escape is your clear and understandable instruction here.
Thanks Allan! You saved me a lot of time and hassle. Yep....instructions suck! :) I have a 2019 Ford Fusion. It is exactly the same.
Great video! Thanks! I really liked how the author throws out the instructions. It's very clueless and written in small print.
excellent Instructions I struggled to understand the enclosed paper instructions for almost 45 minutes, watched your video and was able to do both sides in 5 min. Thanks!

Do you mind me asking if your focus was done the same exact way? I have a 2012.

Hi,
I followed his video exactly and had no problem after that.
I think yours should work the same.
Good luck 👍
@@harrydost8557 thanks 🙏
saved myself quite a bit of time and frustration using your video and avoiding the insert directions. 5 minutes and done! Thank YOU!!
Thank you! I was having a hell of a time trying to figure this out. The instructions confused me even more. You made it extremely simple. Much appreciated!
Finally a video worth watching. It worked for my 2020 Explorer while all the other videos I found were incorrect and misleading
Thank you very much for the video! I was a mechanic at Ford a long time ago, and couldn't easily figure it out, the Michelin site doesn't help. Glad I found your video. Every time I get Michelin wipers at Costco they change the adapters!!
Installing these now… saved me another 20 minutes of frustration, you rock!
2 hours and many cuss words and duct tape later trying to figure out the wipers I found this video and thank you soo much that was a lot easier then I thought and yes the directions are crap.
Thank you so much. I was able to install mine in less than 5 minutes because of your video. You are awesome!
This 2 minutes video saved me a ton of time trying to interpret the horrible directions!
Thank you! You're right, the instructions that come with these wipers suck. Best video for Costco Michelin replacement wipers install for a Ford or Lincoln.
the pinch style is not explained whatsoever for this model, thank god for this man.
Allan - THANK YOU - I was about to return these to Costco and then found your video. Took about 2 minutes once I had your guidance. You wish the manufacturer would give better instructions - cuz like you said - their instructions were awful.
YOUR A LIFE SAVER- sat in a rainy parking lot trying to figure it out so THX!!
I want to remind folks to put a towel on the windshield at the "strike point" where the spring loaded wiper arm might hit. It is easy to bump the arm while you are trying to load the clip and it will slap down and crack the windshield, I know because it happened to me!
Changed dozens of wipers. First time doing an I and L arm. and cracked my windshield
Same happened to me
Thank you! After blood and sweat (No tears) I found your video and did this in less than a minute. You're correct, the instructions do suck!
Thank you for key words "slide into track". I must have looked at 10 videos before this one.
So helpful. Your video was spot on...so much better than the written instructions. Thank you and well done.
Yes it was! The written instructions are terrible.
thank you.....i would never have figured it without your video
2018 Ford edge here. Dear god thank you. I got so frustrated before finding this video that I was mentally preparing to return them thinking I somehow bought incompatible ones.
Thank you for actually explaining you don't need the adapter pieces. I was so god damn frustrated because every other video just skimmed over that part with no explanation
Thanks. Best video indeed for installation of the Michelin wipers from Costco.
THANKS for the help! I have a 2017 Ford Taurus and everything matched!
Thank you very much, instructions did suck with Michelin, I knew I put mine on wrong, but I will fix it in the morning thanks to your video, I have a 2016 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor with wiper arms exactly like yours!! Thanks again for this video!!!
Mr Parsons. You are the man. Yes the directions are junk.
Thank you for posting this.
Worked for 2021 Ford Explorer! Thank you!!!! Saved me a huge headache
Fantastic!! Never replaced my wipers before & did it with your video.. Worked exactly how you instructed.. Thank you🙌
Thank you so much for making this video! With your help and simple directions, you have saved me a lot of time and made my life easier 🙏🏽.
Finally a video that actually works!
Cheers🍻
Thank you so much for this video. I couldn't figure it out for hours. Saw this video and it took me less than 10 minutes. Thanks again
Thank you 2 hours later your video it took 5 min to install plus I lost the other medium bracket 👍👍
I was damn near ready to toss the things until I found this video. Thank you
same here
Thank you! This also works for a Ford Focus. Not sure I would've figured it out without your video.
Thank you. I wasn't sure which adapter to use. A two minute video and they were installed in minutes.
Haha, it took you 20 minutes to figure it out. Took me that long to find your RUclips Video. Thanks!!
You are my super hero right now. My wife drives a Chevy Traverse with the same blade mounting mechanism and the prior blades didn't resemble this at all. You are right the paper manual is trash!
Better than the Michelin-provided videos. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. My Volvo XC90 has the same wiper arms and it worked exactly as per your instructions,
I really like your video. It helps me a lot. I have a Toyota Sequoia 2010. I have look at several videos and it didn't help. I was going to return it until I saw your video. Really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Thanks for saving me 17 minutes and 25 seconds!
You are ABSOLUTELY right - the instructions SUCK!!! Most videos show a replacement on the "hook" arm.
THANK YOU for the video.
Thank you! The instructions do suck and your video saved a lot of cursing and throwing things! ;)
Thanks man
That was very useful
Toyota Avalon 2011
Wow, thank you so much.
It's so simple, but I was struggling for way too long

Thanks dude, I went through a number of videos that didn't help till now
Right up to when I pressed the correct adapter I did not believe it would work, then click it was on. I didn't think it was actually on far enough but it was. Thank you.

Thank you for the great instructions. Saved me quite a bit of time.
Dude thank you! I got the same wiper blades from Costco and trying to change them on my wife's car. The instructions were absolutely terrible
Thank you so much. That was so easy and the instructions were only for a j hook arm.
Thanks for the video! Worked perfect on my 2014 fusion
Your the man ! Thanks so much.
2013 Escape. I used Michelin silicone blades, only came with 1 adapter but it case your confused, take the old one off like the video shows, don’t replace the clip that’s on the new wiper. Slide on and snap. Good luck lol I know it’s confusing sometimes
Thanks so much Allan, you weren't kidding, the instructions do in fact suck. I was pretty much ready to start hitting things with a hammer.
Overprepared if you brought a hammer for this job😄😄😄 The instructions really were trash.. They might as well have written them in hieroglyphics.
Thank you. Saved me a lot of time
Thanks brother, easy af after watching
Bless you for posting this🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you man! I was about to go back to Costco to return mine. Lol😂
Thank you. It only took 2 minutes to do it.
With out the video I won’t be able to do that.
FYI, if you scan the QR code in Costco or on the instructions it will take you to actual video for you specific car model wipe install. I got mine installed in like then 5 mins without breaking anything.
Thank you, Allan - this helped so much!
You are Amazing and thank you so much, Great work
Thanks so much, saved me!

Thank you! Worked like a charm!
Yep, you're a life saver. Thanks man!
thank you so much saved my afternoon!!!!!!!
It worked. Thanks for posting this video 👍
Perfect need ed this TODAY for my 2014 Taurus. Same wiper arm.
If only Michelin could make a video like this. I thought I would have to return the wipers until I watched this video.
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Thanks for this vid!
God dang it you rock thank you!!! I was about to return them
The instructions were beyond useless. I got so frustrated by using those garbage instructions and could not get my wipe blade installed on my 2014 Fusion. Thank you so much. I was using the wrong adapter piece so it wouldn’t lock correctly.
Excellent video, the instructions that come with the blades really do suck! Installed them on a 2009 Escape and would have given up had it not been for this video!
A champion among men.
Ya, buddy.... thanks for this. The instructions aren't worth a shit!
Simply put. Thank you!
2017 ford escape worked like like a charm did not like the instructions either.
Thanks It helps me to install on my 2012 Ford Focus
