The Michelin-Pylon marketing of their 'EZ Lok Connector System' is a farce. It was sent to me despite a Costco/Michelin/Pylon online fitment guide specifying a different connector number. The second connector mailed (# P4 received after 9 days) was a third duplicate of two other connectors that were included in the purchased 18' & 24' blade packaging.the # P4 was never designed to fit a MKX arm and is worthless. The first connector mailed ( # P3-5 received after 4 days) from Pylon was a convoluted, awkward 'Rube Goldberg' device that crudely attached the blade to the arm.

The OEM wipers are low profile SIDE-MOUNT blades that hide below the hood cowl & out of the airstream. The first issue manifested itself immediately.

Recent efforts to install Chinese-made Michelin/Costco Guardian wiper blades to my 2016 MKX have failed after two attempts to attach correct connectors mailed from the Michelin licensee (Pylon Manufacturing Co.
