Yep, I'll go with that too - RainEx, fookin' brilliant stuff!

had similar on my s4 , worn spline/spindle, it helped a little to bend the wiper arm a tad to keep it on the screen , got a good replacement form james , sorted it

And a little check to ensure that the wiper blade is the correct angle to the screen. It may even need a small tweak of the arm.

However- best guess if the situation is localised to one position, is some interference in the rotating bits there.

You just wore a groove in it while you rubbed like mad to get rid if the dribbly mark that was on the inside Craig

I 2nd quattrokid's suggestions.
1. Fit aero wipers, just done on the coupe, best thing ever.
2. Get rainx glass cleaner and screen wash, I clean the screen every couple of weeks, and the screen wash just tops the effect back up every time you use it.

Get the Bosch Aero Twin retro fit ones, 3 blades for the coupe cost me £27. Can't go wrong with that
