Soo...
I replaced the standard Bosch wipers (front and back) with cheapy areo's from Tesco. All good.
However the front passenger side wiper once at full virtical posistion, just before it goes back down, leaves about 1/2" of what I can only describe as a smear the length of the blade and a ever so slight dull squeak. This is slightly lessened in heavy rain but not by much.
I have cleaned the screen with Auto glym glass cleaner and various other things without any change.
Also when going out in the morning after being parked up overnight the windscreen has the outline of the wipers on the glass.
Originally I put it down to the wipers being new and figured I'd give it a week to settle in and let the wipers maybe mold slightly to the shape of the glass but after 2 there's no difference.
They clean the front absolutely fine but I'm worried that the little 1/2" smear may cause scratching or some marks over a long period. But to be honest I'll probably replace the windscreen in the next 6-8 months anyway due to lots of little chips showing up when the suyns at the right angle.
Laugh as you may but this is my 2nd car and the alst was a Pug 206 purely for the 1st year of insurance so I'm still rather new to it all
All I'll say is; Tell me something once and I'll learn + remember it
