Wiper Blade backdrafts rain back onto windshield

[Frankwhoa]

My stock driver side wiper pulls the rain back into my view at 30+ mph. It happens when the driver blade is all the way up on the driver side, as it starts to go back down the aerodynamics of the blade backdrafts the rain back into view.

Looking to change wipers...
Anyone else notice this with stock wipers? Anyone have non stock wipers and does not have that problem?

Yup, I have this as well. It doesn't really hinder visibility or bother me but it definitely seems like a design flaw. The OEM wipers are pretty chunky, so I'm imagining some lower profile ones wouldn't have this tendency.

I tossed my OEM immediately...I had a set of mis-ordered Bosch’s sitting in the garage that were the same size/connectors. They perform fine.

My truck does the same thing. Too bad to have to replace wipers on a brand new truck.

I had the dealer replace mine for free cause it did it. They did not use the same type wipers.

Mine did it with original blades and the several replacement brands I have been through, but it isn't to the point that it bothers me or hinders vision.
