Annyoning vertical wiper streak

[Wwcoffee]

Is anyone else annoyed by a vertical streak left in the dead center of the line of sight after the wipers have been used while raining?

I don't seem to have that problem.

It is very annoying.

I'm about to replace my wipers, see if it helps. One thing to note is that you may need to clean your wiper blades. They may have accumulated bug crud/grease that is getting pushed to that line.

Edit: having replaced my wiper blades (and wiped off the new ones while installing) the vertical line no longer occurs. Installing the wipers also had me add a hydrophobic coating to the windshield (came with the wipers) and I happen to now be using Prestone Bug Wash wiper fluid. But I bet cleaning your windshield and blades well will resolve the vertical line.

I had that, but after getting a chip fixed at Safelite, they cleaned the wipers and glass, and now I don't get the vertical stripe anymore. It must have been something on the blade at delivery, because it started the first drive home.
