Is it too long and hitting widscreen post, or badly adjusted arm hitting bottom of screen?

Check the screen area swept by that part of the blade.There might be some sort of crap cutting the blade.

I always use wipers from places where stock gets used quickly. The rubber used these days on cheaper blades is basically crap and splits in no time, especially if it's been on the shelf for a while

I've used blades from Lidls for several years & find the performance & lifespan very good.

hopefully solved the problem changed the arm got one from scrappy for a fiver the old one was too close to the screen either been bent or off another car time will tell thanks for your repliies
