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?
Best wiper blades?

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 !

http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=12084 I'm not sure if these are the exact same as the ones I got. same idea though, has a scrubbing strip alongside the blade. I think you'll find them in most major truckstops.

Ok they look good...they have that little tube to hook up to the fluid I assume?

You can buy a monkey to ride on the hood with a bottle of windex and a roll of paper towels...

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. -
I've used the Michelin Stealth blades on our newer T600 with great results.
