For most vehicles, yes, you can upgrade to a hybrid or beam. A hybrid wiper blade is usually an ideal upgrade for vehicles originally equipped with a conventional style wiper blade.

A hybrid Wiper blade is a combination of features from a conventional wiper blade and a beam wiper blade. The blades feature the aerodynamics of a beam blade combined with the precise pressure point mechanics of a conventional blade, to deliver exceptional wiping performance.

A conventional wiper blade is a traditional style wiper with an exposed metal frame composed of multiple pressure points across the blade to deliver an excellent performance in pelting rain. Hybrid wiper blades are a great upgrade from a conventional style with an enclosed frame to protect it from clogging with snow, ice and debris, but still uses the multi flex point technology that adjusts the frame to your windshield.

A conventional wiper blade is a traditional style wiper with an exposed metal frame composed of multiple pressure points across the blade to deliver an excellent performance in pelting rain. Beam wiper blades leverage a single beam design with infinite pressure points which allows the blade to flex to the curve of your windshield. Beam blades are more aerodynamic in design with a lower profile appearance. Beam blades are designed to last longer in more severe weather conditions as the frameless design does not clog with snow, ice and debris in the way a conventional blade can with the frame exposed.

Both hybrid and beam wiper blades are great options and depend on preference and the type of blades originally installed on your vehicle. Michelin premium hybrid wiper blades are designed with patented technology that allows the wiper to adjust to the shape of your windshield, and offers a covered design that holds up well in extreme weather.
