Picked up my 2024 CR-V Hybrid in August. The night I got it, the weather was a bit rainy, and I noticed some water spots or stains on the windshield whenever the wipers swept. It’s even worse in dry weather—if there are bugs or debris on the windshield, the wipers with the sprayers just smear everything around instead of cleaning it properly. I’ve taken it to the dealership twice, but they say there’s nothing wrong.

Hey there! I’ve heard similar complaints about the 2024 CR-V’s wipers. It seems to be a common issue. Have you tried using a different wiper blade brand? Sometimes, the OEM blades might not be the best fit. You could also try using a glass cleaner specifically designed for windshield wipers. If the problem persists, it might be worth visiting another dealership for a second opinion.

My cousin had a similar issue with his car (not a CR-V, though), and he found that giving the windshield a good polish with a glass cleaner made a big difference. Maybe worth a shot?

Make sure the wiper arms are properly aligned. If they’re off, they might not be applying even pressure to the windshield, causing streaking. You can usually adjust the wiper arms yourself. If you’re not comfortable doing it, take it back to the dealership.

Check the windshield for any scratches or damage. Even tiny imperfections can cause streaking. If you find any damage, you might need to replace the windshield.

A rain repellent treatment can help improve wiper performance, especially in wet weather. Many car care products offer these treatments. Just follow the instructions carefully.
