This happens in normal rainy conditions. It gets much worse with road spray or salt. And yes, I user the sprayers generously.The windshield wipers on my 2014 RLX smear badly. I have had it back to the dealership three times in nine months, no solution. I get a 3 to 6 inch smear at eye -level on the driver side and a similar smear at the top of the arch passing side. The dealer claims there is no problem, or that the blades are simply dirty. Both the arm and the blades have been replaced but no solution.
Any ideas?
thats what i noticed with Bosch wipers, I guess they freeze up in the cold and don't do a good job. Still better than wipers with metal frames.I would just clean them with soapy water (not dish detergent - just use car paint soap)
I'm not sure if the ammonia in the windex is good for the rubber. I think the stock wipers might be rubber to make them all season.
Look into sillicone wipers from PIAA. They are softer and do a great job at leaving a clean windshield in the spring and summer (doesn't work as well for snow and ice)
