About a year ago, I finally found good blades for my Outback. Rain-X Arch. No streaks, they don’t skip across the windshield, and they aren’t that pricey.
Have been working great and they were cheaper than the OEM's.
Another thing you might notice on your Tig is that every once in a while when you switch your car off or turn it on, the wipers will "twitch", basically just move a couple of millimeters up or down. It's to prevent them from sticking to the glass and baking on, in areas where you might not use your wipers for weeks of months at a time. It supposedly keeps the blade's edge in healthier shape.
I had good results from Rain-X blades.
Though aside from this advice I decided to get RainX wipers on the 1999 Camry a couple weeks ago, and I am impressed with their performance. Fill the fluid reservoir with additional Rain-X window cleaner and they work great.
I use Rain‑X® Latitude® Water Repellency 2-n-1 Wiper Blades on my 2012 Prius. I highly recommend both of these. They last a long time, never streak, and clear water off really well.
The best experience I have made with the original wipers. I know, they are dearer than those in the aftermarket, but at least they clean 2 years without squeaking, skipping and so on. Those from the Mk4s can also be used on the Mk3.
I made the mistake of getting RainX wipers because I had such a difficult time getting replacements. The first couple of rain events with them were terrible. A few weeks later, and they're fine. But I would never buy them again.
Oh yeah, their wiper blades are crap, i picked up a pair 6-7 years ago and the adapters were hoking huge, hard pass for me.
I went through 3 sets before I found a package with the correct clips. The clip issue was on Rain-X.
