    Ok this is a rather lame post but I can't seem to find wiper blades I like. They either streak, or when you try and wash the windshield only half gets sprayed. Is there good brand that cleans the whole windshield and won't streak?

    I recently got the scrubbing wipers. big improvement ! but you can clean, aim, or change the tip on the wash sprayer. If you take a little pick and clean it out and/or widen the orifice and get it pointed at the right spot it will do much better at cleaning. Thank god bug season is coming to an end !

    Just saw this on how it's made....cool stuff.....here's some pointers and factoids:

    1) every windshield is different, has a different curve.......
    2) Bosch designs each application for a specific vehicle with a specific curve.
    3) The spring in the arm determines the load pressure on the windshield which determines the ability to wipe.
    4) And never use the double blades, they double the work load on the system and it's not designed for that.
    5) UV aka the sun destroys the rubber blades.

    That hose is part of the wiper arm, not the blade.
