Mine is the same. At least I know it's just not mine. It seems the edge of the passenger wiper isn't contacting the glass firm enough to make a clean wipe.

Both of our F97s' wipers work great, Craig - have never had an issue with them, and 6,500 miles in combined. Wondering if the common factor in those having this issue will be Northern climate with snow/ice issues which may have altered or damaged the mechanisms (just thinking out loud as I write this)... ?

Try use something like "Rain X" from time to time. It may help

Much like the tires and washer fluid, perhaps the wipers aren’t up to performing in the cold?
I’ve also read reviews of some after market blades where people state you have to get them installed while it’s warm so they form to the curve of the windshield. |
