Put 100 dollar bills on the wipers, then it won't seem so cheap.

Or run over one of those homeless window-washers. But don't kill him.

Default 2 things.

Your wiper blades probably need to be replaced. As they age (typically over 6 months), the rubber dries out, and becomes harder. Second, your windshield accumulates grime that stays on your window in the form of a thin film. Replace your wipers, and that will probably solve your problem for a while. Follow up with a clay bar to really clean the film off your windshield, and you might be shocked at how much better your wipers perform.

I thought you didn't want Rain-X on your paint.

Default Wait! Before you spend a cent, try sanding the inserts....

I know it sounds queer, and I'm not sure why it works, but sand each blade where it touches the widshield. If it still doesn't work, go for new inserts. Dad and I both had good luck with this method on ours.
