Fitted new wipers to the pug 2 month ago and smeared from day 1. The damn reason why I replaced the old ones. Today I went and fetched some more. still fucking smearing. Jack through windscreen and a windscreen insurance claim is next unless someones got a good fix idea.
There's some oily shit on the windscreen, clean it with vinegar and newspaper or kitchen roll. Then do the same with the wiper blades.

Bang a litre of vinegar through the washer jets
Less annoying tag line.

What are you cleaning it with? I've always previously cleaned my windscreen with autoglym glass cleaner or regular house hold cleaner. Then bought some reasonably expensive stuff. Does a fantastic job but a lot of work. I think the better stuff have a mild abrasive in it.
Also have the wiper arm springs gone a bit limp?
Something called car plan screenclean. Smells like vinegar with a microfiber cloth

Presume you mean there is a crack in the windscreen
I never seem to get a pair of wipers that don't smear, those on my van were shit from the get go- Halfrauds but I was fucked if I was gonna pay near on £40 for a Bosch pair. Perhaps I need to try rubbing a jack over the screen.
I've always bought champion rainaway wipers from geejays for 2.49 each and have done great for cost. Thought I'd treat Peugeot a few month bike to 15 quid a pair bosch ones from motor factors and were shit from the off. Replaced the smearing driver side one again today with the 2.49 champion one.

Bought some colorful sockets.
I'd lost my 7/16" and a single replacement was $4.95, these were $9 for the set.

Works a treat and strips the grease off the screen and wipers

Fitted a swivel seat base into the Granvia.
Top tip:- Get somebody else to fucking do it, it's a cunt of a job.

That's why I am still happy to sit the wrong way in the T25 and eat off my lap.
