SilBlade’s patented silicone rubber formula adds graphite and PTFE for improved performance from the same stuff that makes fried eggs slide out of the pan. The traditional steel chassis wears a powder-coated finish for durable good looks, and the six-point structure maintains even blade pressure on the windshield. The SilBlade Premium is the company’s conventional frame style product.
Their beaks likely shed water better than the wiper, but the Michelin duckbill design beat the low-speed waddlers in high-speed noise reduction. The spray testing rig was so appealing to the Pekin ducks next door that they came over for some water of their own. The duckbill-shaped aerodynamic leading edge was particularly effective against water in static and road tests. I’m not sure of the science involved in the procedure, but it worked. The instructions stated to run the new wipers on a dry windshield for at least five minutes to break in the Endurance XT QuadTech 4-layer coated silicone blade. Michelin recommended a clean windshield like any other manufacturer, but the break-in procedure was a little unusual. The well-designed connector made installation a snap. The advanced silicone compound blade can handle searing 195-degree heat and remains flexible down to minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Rounded leading edge shape can clash with some design languageĮxcellent performance, realistic durability claims, and ready availability earned the Michelin Endurance XT our overall Best Silicone Wiper pick.Unconventional break-in procedure required for peak performance.Duckbill-shaped leading edge deflects water and reduces wind noise.
