Worn / micro scratches due to wiper blades not being changed very often...

Thats the thing Craig.. I do replace them regularly and hardly ever have to use the wipers as I have a polymer coating which why I am confused.

Even if you've changed the blades regularly, the old style blades have the branching arms / fingers which put the pressure down on the rubber unevenly, which is why you're seeing the uneven wear.

I think they gave the wiper arm a tweek (twist) to get the blade to sit squarer to the screen.

I think we used to be able to be adjust the angle on the wiper where It bolts on. I think they may have changed that on the later arms tho, I can’t remember. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

These are the non hook ones and all the thread I have read do not suggest the wiper arm needs a mod. I think it may be a bad wiper.. will report back. Current:
