I have been using the Bosch wipers as sold by BowWow for all the cars and
vans for years now here in the temperate rain forest with no problems. Maybe
Mike is right; check that your wiper arms are perpedicular to the
windshield. You might also try cleaning the windshield with 409 or ? Maybe
you have some built up film.
