Yes...feel free to talk trash, but...they are not installing very securely. I am lifting the cover (oem configuration from Michelin), and sliding them onto the JHook. The Jhook is seating as best I can tell, with the rear tabs gently closing around the base of the Jhook, however, there is no "snick/click", and I can easily force the wiper off of the hook in reverse with what I considet very minimal pressure. The safety cover prevents it from just hitting the eject Id think, but this Michelin is total trash vs oem. The only reason I bought it is because the PPFed windshield requires a 100% silicon blade. Any experience here or pointers?

 

Nevermind. I watched Michelin install videos. They are just kindof "meh".

 

I've always just bought Honda/Acura OEM wiper inserts and replaced them that way.

 

is there a silicon insert one can buy? If so, link? I need a silicon blade. So fsr the XTs are great, I just dislike their retention method vs oem.

 

I don't think Honda/Acura OEMs are silicone, but they're rubber. I bought them at $20 for all three inserts front and rear. Curry Acura dealer sells parts on their ebay store. I think they're closed right now due to supply shortages but it does pop up here and there. If not, you can visit sites such as acurapartsforless.com

 

I needed silicon.

 

I think you mean silicone. Why do you need silicone?

 

To keep the PPF from getting torn up is the reason the manufacturer of it gave. I just do what they mfr recommends and it tends to turn out pretty well with most things.
