I have a 95' Camaro and when i turn the wipers on they both miss a big spot where the lower left side of the blade meets the windshield. I have tried just about every blade out there from the cheap to the new high end Bosch. I have even called a couple of manufactures to see if they have a fix but the said due to the curvature of my windshield they do not have a blade that could hug the curvature of my windshield. Any idea of any fix or a wiper out there that could preform a lot better?

Make sure the metal tips that hold the blade in place are not too close to the ends. This will cause the blade to bow instead of follow the contour of the glass. Also, pull the arms away from the glass, and bend the wiper end of the arm closer to the windshield. This will increase the pressure of the blade. Do both these things, and your wipers will not miss a single spot. Hope this helped you and good luck!

Rain-X and Bosch both now make wiper blades that are designed to hug the curvature of your windshield. You will pay a lot more but they work great. $25-$30 each

it may look that the spring-loaded down rigidity of the wiper arm is inadequate to press the blade against the glass in some factors of that is shuttle.....attempt bending the arm via pulling it removed from the windshield and bend it interior the middle particularly to stay with greater downforce to the blade. If that fails to spectacular the situation, set up a clean arm....after 10 years, the spring may be getting vulnerable. some aftermarket blades like Rain-X are heavier in layout or no longer as versatile as customary ones and can reason subjects like yours....I desire to easily use customary equipment Anco or Trico blades of excellent high quality.

I prefer the rain x wiper. They are made from silicone. They really seem to work great, and you could always go alittle longer on the left wiper, but not to long or you will wear out your wiper motor prematuraly.

lol no every car does that. next time it rains an you turn on ur wind shild wipers check if the left wiper cleans the spot and if this hapends then your cars wipers are working normaly. oh and the right wind shield wiper should create the spot. if u want u can try to get longer wind shield wipers so you wont have that spot.

I would try rain-x, it works wonders and is really easy to apply to your windshield, you can apply it on all of your windows and mirrors, you will notice a diffrence the next time it rains. you may not have to even use your wiper blades.

The Bosch ICON was the only wiper that came close , it still was missing at the extreme.

I wipe my down with alcohol wipes if it's a small patch, otherwise I would buy new ones. If they consistently do this, you may have to buy all new wipers, not the blades.

hey guy, take the time and spend a few bucks and replace the old blades otherwise you might end up buying a new windshield from all the scratches.
