    Wiper blades not cleaning properly

    As per the title, the driver side wiper isn't wiping the water away in certain spots on the down sweep. They are genuine wipers and the glass is clean. The passenger side wiper has no such problems. Anyone else have similar problems, and how did you fix it?

    Thanks.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but have you tried cleaning the wiper blades themselves? Most likely cause of those symptoms are twigs/leaves/rocks/grass/etc. that are caught between the wiper blade and the glass.

          Try give them a really thorough clean like Alex said, do the other one at the same time.
