Default windshield wiper misses glass for the middle ~3 inches.

Also, consider Rain-X.

Rain-X is horrible for windshields! In a light rain the first swipe
wipes the windshield so dry that there in no lube when the wipers come
back across, causing them to hop and/or make a loud buuuuuuuup noise.



Rain-X is only good in moderate to heavy rain. The size of the drops cause them
to run down the windshield so you don't even need to run the blades. In light
or misting rain the water just sits there until you run the blades... and then
it smears badly. I hate the stuff.



I have been using it for years with no smearing etc. Proper prep is what
makes it work. A couple squirts of the blue water window cleaner
(windex) isn't enough. I use it mostly for the winter because it really
helps with removing ice/snow.
