    Maybe you need to add some wiper fluid. Also, depends what wipers you get. My wipers are shit when its just a sprinkle of rain, but when I'm driving through torrential rain they are sensational.

    not really understanding what your saying but im guessing you have changed the wiper blades on your car?

    did you get metal back blades or the cheap/crap plastic backs?

    what brand are they - buy crap - get crap.

    if your not happy with them, theres nothing you can do about it except replace them with something better.

    dont forget to scrub the windscreen clean before you use the new blades, and it always helps if you at least wet the blades the first time, or wet the whole windscreen itself as well.

    Haha your lucky, have had mine replaced 3 times by Chevy " Holden " at my expense, and they're still shit lol.

    Its fine tho, after a certian speed, you stop noticing the water on the windscreen

    What you need are a set of Trico blades.

    You will require model 17-220 (22") and 17-200 (20"). The shorter of the two goes onto the passenger side.l
