Default Windshield wipers skiping on glass question?

In the rain (plenty of it in Oregon)turning on wiper for 5 10 minutes they start skiping on the glass. Use rain X and they are smooth as silk for 15 minutes then start skiping again.
New AR 2 weeks old.
Any thoughts or just get new blades?
Thanks
Ciao

Had the same problem. Replace them and problem should go away.

Default try cleaning the glass with something strong............

I have used lighter fluid to get rid of all traces of Rain-x, then never use rain-x again. It causes nothing but problems over time. Aquapel is a much better product but I have found a perfectly clean windshield works the best.
