    Default wiper really ****** me off

    ok guys, had issues over the last month, my wipers started ennoying me with streaks and stuff during wiping, so i bought flat aero ones from ebay which was supposed to be great, i got them thru but the driver side wasnt doing its job properly so they sent me another one, this was perfect for about 5 days and it started getting really streaky again.
    so i thought the wipers might just be rubbish, so i bought normal wipers with spoiler from my local shop for £18, the passenger side seams fine with all of the blades but the new wipers make a horrible grubbing noise when going back down and dont seem to be wiping the window properly when going back down but is fine going up..

    im loosing my patience with it, any ideas with the problem lads?

    has the arm been twisted so the blade isn't 90 deg to the screen and is it pulling in tight to the window

    What condition is the windscreen in?
    Once a year I usually apply a coat of rain-X
    I am getting near that stage again

    try rubbing the blade down with some vinegar on a rag as grease built up on the blade can cause streaks
