Troubleshooting Scrubblade Windshield Wipers Streaking On a 2015 Subaru Forester
Question:
Purchase wiper blades and used them today and they leave an inch or two streaks when they wipe. Did I just get bad blades or what? Please advise as they are worse than the ones I just took off!

I have a couple things you can try to resolve the streaking issue you are having with the Scrubblade Wipers # SC94FR and # SC77FR. First you will want to ensure your windshield is clean and does not use any repellants such as Rain-X or ceramic coatings. You can also try flipping the blades 180 degrees as this is found to help in most applications. You can do this by removing the connector clipped to the blades and reinstall them 180 degrees.
If you find neither of these solutions help to eliminate the streaks you are getting you will want to switch over to the Beam Style Blades # SC58FR and # SC84FR. These are the style blades that originally came on your 2015 Subaru Forester and work best on curved windshields like yours. The frame style you have above work best on flat windshields.
