Anybody have really streaky wipers that barely even clear the windshield? Maybe they just need to be replaced - where's a reasonably cheap source for wipers?

(Incidentally, the owner's manual blames this on drive-thru car washes and says that the dealer can put some goo in the system to resolve)

Anyway, thank you for your help.

clay bar your windshield, and/or replace wipers

Shipping costs will eat up any savings you thing you're getting.

Just replaced the original OEMs on my '06 with RainX Latitude beam blades purchased at Pep Boys. They look exactly like the OEMs they replaced and work great.
In the CR November issue they scored 2nd with 70 points out of 15 models tested and were the only ones to have the same (Very Good) rating after 6 months of use as when new.
Don't remember the exact price I paid but it was less than $20 each.

my OEMs work great, if you keep your windshield clean.

but any polymer based sealant will work (think Rain-X etc.)

Double check my info, but Icons are a possibility. I went with OEM tho
