Re: Streak from windshield wiper
Mine did that too, so I replaced the blades with the Rain-X Latitude blades. Seriously some of the best money I've spent! Clean it well, add two coats of rain-x then the new wiper blades = like watching a blu-ray movie for the first time each swipe!

Re: Streak from windshield wiper
Good to know. When I got my G6 the dealer agreed to replace the windshield because there were permanent streaks (possibly scratches) where the wipers were. Definitely going to have to get the rain-x I think to keep that from happening again.
Especially considering the dealer wants to charge $30 each for the GM ones.

Re: Streak from windshield wiper
I have the Bosch now, had the Rain-X. They both work great, till I hit 70mph, then they both skipped/streaked right in my LOS!! And I'm rarely below 70mph!!

Re: Streak from windshield wiper
personally i think anything over 45mph all you need is a layer of wax or rain-x or aquapelOriginally posted by FLRNEMTI have the Bosch now, had the Rain-X. They both work great, till I hit 70mph, then they both skipped/streaked right in my LOS!! And I'm rarely below 70mph!!
screw wipers, they make it clean for .1 second and then you need them againComment

Re: Streak from windshield wiper
Isn't Rain-X basically liquid wax? Need to wait for it to dry to a slight haze then remove, just like wax.. :POriginally posted by bluegtp33personally i think anything over 45mph all you need is a layer of wax or rain-x or aquapelOriginally posted by FLRNEMTI have the Bosch now, had the Rain-X.

Re: Streak from windshield wiper
I complained about the exact problem last year
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19801
There does not seem to be any permanent solution, but I found using a windshield cleaner called "No Touch Auto Glass Stripper" which is available in Walmart and most auto stores for about seven dollars. After you clean the windshield, apply a couple of coats of RainX and that will stop the problem for a couple of months. I have tried new wipers but the problem returns.Comment
