The Michelin Endurance XT are a Walmart exclusive, if I remember correctly. Otherwise these wiper blades seem to be better:

Just in case those links don't automatically select the right choices, make sure that you get the B (Narrow PTB) mounting style. And 26" and 19" wipers. The blades on these are refillable as well.

My solution, just replace the inserts with silicon blades that you cut to size, easy to do. Basically two silicone replacement insert for $8, that's only $4 per wiper and they work well.

I've done that before, but it's not too easy to do on the OEM wipers. You need to use two small flat blade screw drivers to pop each end out in order to replace the rubber wiper. But if you are handy, it can be done.

I suppose saying something is "easy" is only relative to things I think are hard. I also hand wash my car, rotate my tires, change my AC cabin filter and add my own windshield washer fluid, all of which I think are pretty easy.

Yes, the PIAA wipers work fine (I've had those on my car for 1.5 years now). The only con I can think of was that the two wipers for Model 3 use different size refills (the 26" ones are wider than most of the other sizes).

I signed into my account. The Model 3 is my only Tesla car. It told me:

Accessory is not compatible with any of your vehicles

The Michelin chart in Costco says 28" left, 18" right. The Bosch web site says 26" for the left PUV blade and 19" for the right. What are the real lengths?

I measured the originals on my car before replacing them, and they were 26" and 19". I got the Michelin Endurance wipers from Walmart and they've been good in the few months I've had them on the car.

US$69 now… kind of a lot

Honestly wiper blades are the BIGGEST scam in automotive. The prices are absolutely ridiculous considering the cost to manufacture. Oh well.

This time around, rather than buying the inexpensive silicone refills like I had been doing, I splurged and bought the Bosh Aerotwin OEM replacement wipers from Amazon. Exactly the same as what came on the car, but with Bosch logo laser engraved on the end cap. Cost was $35, so not as expensive is many other brands, but about 4X the cost of the generic refills. All in all, the Bosch blades are working really well, better than the refills, so for the extra cost, replacing with the Bosch blades is not a bad option.

I got the Michelin silicone blades about a year ago, and for months now they've been making noise / skipping. Curious if anyone else has had that problem?

Amazon is charging $30 for the Bosch OEM set - not bad
