I know this isn't a really important topic like
Turbos vs V8s, or "my car can blow away your car".
Nonetheless, I could use some suggestions.

My windshield wipers streak, particularly in a 1 inch band
about 4 inches from the tip.  Buying new blades doesn't
help!  They're good for about a day (if that) and then "poof!",
new streaks, usually in a different place.
Maybe it's acid rain :-).  Occasionally, I'll wipe the wipers
with Glass Plus (clean off all the grime), and they'll be okay
for a day again.  I've considered getting new wiper holders,
but my car is a Subaru (non-standard), so I would have to
get them from Subaru, and pay a big bunch of money for them.

Anybody out there have any good ideas?  If I'm going to pop
for new holders, I would at least like some assurance that they
would solve the problem.
 
Thanks.
