This is worse and worse with my 2001 Chev Impala. Using wipers when raining could make the windshield look even more blurred, making the driving on rainy days very tough. Maybe the wiper blades need to be changed? or could be the windshield glass surface needs special cleaning? Thanks, John

Could be either or both. Sometimes you pick up an oily film from road spray, especially if it has been a while since it rained or you washed the car. Blades don't last more than a year, if that. If they are a year or more old, get new blades and give the windshield a good cleaning before you install them. Also, how many miles on that windshield? If may be pitted and more apt to hold road gunk too. I live in an are where they sand the roads in winter and the windshield can be a mess at about 70,000 miles and sand residue can eat up blades quickly.

Problem with wiper blades or windshield glass?

And then there is the RainX washer fluid. While I don't care for the stuff you apply to the windshield, the washer fluid is very good. Helps to get rid of a light frost coating also. It is on a par with the yellow Prestone stuff and both are far superior to the 99 blue stuff.

Shake a bottle a coka cola vigurously and spray over the windshield.

It works wonders.
