Windshield wiper smearing

[///d]

Anyone have ideas to fix this? It's very annoying and right in my line of sight.

It happens regardless the brand blade, old or new.

I've tried cleaning the window multiple times, makes no difference.

Its right where the blade attaches to the arm, and only smears on down stroke.

Happened even on my previous windshield that was replaced.

I feel you, that would bother me too.

If it happened on your old windshield, and new or old blades... has to be a pressure problem with the arm no?

After talking about it today with a buddy I cant honestly recall if it was happening with the old windshield or not, but its been happeneing for well over a year now.

We think oil or grease of some sort ended up on it and was smeared by the wiper. Today I took the car bar to it 3 times, and afterwards noticed the clay bar lubricant would immediately run off that spot while it stayed in place everywhere else on the window. That spot will spread liquid and run it off every time, just like you see with grease/oil. I tried soaking and acrubbing with dawn dishsoap but no luck. Gonna see what I can find tomorrow and if all else fails call the windshield place monday and have em take a look and make sure its not a defect in lamination or something.

Use some polish. Should take off anything that's built up in that spot.
