We get a considerable amount of rain and I like to replace my wipers on an annual basis. I went through various brands before I settled on buying whatever my dealer supplies. If I am not satisfied, I go back. and they make it right. Buying select brands off the shelf at an auto store has not proved to be worth the bother. I have it done with an oil change.

Are they the original blades? Perhaps that is why they streak on a 2015 2 year old truck? Heck wipers are 12/12k on new vehicles you could've gotten a free pair under warranty at one point in time.

 

OEM and the AC Delco Winter beam are the only ones that have ever worked for me.

Bought my truck new in December 2017 Sierra day one the drivers wiper was complete crap streak city. I contemplated going back to the dealer to complain that a $50k vehicle should have come like this but instead I just bought a set of Bosh Icon blades and have been pleased.

I put Bosch Icon's in.

I had to replace my wipers within 6 months cause same thing, streaking and making that horrible scraping noise across the windshield. I just had them put on OEM's and these have been fine the year I've had them.

Hard to beat the SILICONE RUBBER in the PIAA brand blades........ #97055 (22")............. Easily found on eBay and Amazon............ A set has lasted 3 years on my rigs - you get what you pay for.........

I'm a fan of the hybrid design blades. I use Michelin blades primarily because they're always on sale at wally world. I have had great luck with Bosch and Rain X blades as well in the past.

 

And +1 on applying rain x on the windshield. Cheapest mod you can do with one of the best results, being able to see better!

I got my truck in July of 16 and have had my Bosch Icons since December. My factory wipers sucked as well. I also use the Rain-x bugjuice and it works great!

I recently replaced my oem blades with some bosches (not the icon though), and they still skip across the windshield on the drivers side like the oem ones did for me, even though they're brand new...

 

Could it have something to do with the spring in the wiper arm or something else.... I find it hard to believe a new blade can be an issue like that. I haven't tried swapping driver/passenger blades yet to diagnose, just wondering if anybody else has run into this perhaps

I also run the Michelin Stealth wipers and bought them at Wally World as well. Combined with Rain-X on windshield and their bug juice the rain sheets right off.

Check out the Goodyear Hybrid blades at Costco for $7.99 each. I've installed them on my sons' and daughters' vehicles recently and they fit and work well (obviously better than stock). For you Costco Special Owners, this is a particularly good fit.
