Do your blades have a wear indicator?
My boy has a 2011 limited editon sedan, he also complained about the blades.
Just replaced mine with new oem blades that have a wear indicator on them.
10x better than the ones on 2011 for some strange reason,i checked his wipers, they were just like my old ones.

Old thread - I know

BUT...I'm having the same issue with my OEM Infiniti/Nissan ones.

Purchased all new blades and inserts...within 500 miles the drivers side streaks. Passenger side is perfectly fine. Went back to the dealer and they tried putting a new insert in. No luck, still the same problem. Then we replaced the entire blade assembly. Was fine for a couple hundred miles and then it started back up again.

Not sure what the ****'s going on, but it's really starting to aggravate me...

Have you guys tried cleaning the blades/inserts every car wash?

Yes. It's either a sh1tty design flaw with the pressure point on the drivers side blade, or something on the window.

But I've claybar'd and even tried polish out my windshield a bit so make sure there's nothing causing the streaking and it still does it.
