Best Front Windshield Wipers for a 2011 Kia Sorento
Question:
Hi I have a Kia Sorento 2011 diesel and having trouble with wiper blades lifting got approx 50 mm at the ends causing streaking especially at the sides where the screen curves.They are not Michelin. Are silicone blades softer therefore conforming to the windscreen shape better particularly at the ends. Will your blades eliminate this problem? We live in South East Queensland so rarely in icy conditions, mostly in the heat.

Upgraded aftermarket wiper blades are almost always superior in performance compared to factory blades. I recommend the Rain-X blades # RX5079280-2 for the driver's side and # RX5079277-2 for the passenger's side. These are beam style blades that apply equal pressure along the blade to reduce or eliminate streaking.
Michelin blades are similar in how pressure is applied but the blades are just natural rubber whereas the Rain-X blades are graphite-coated rubber.
