That sleek situation is supposed to stop lifting below windy conditions and avoid snow and mud from packing beneath the blade.

The Weatherbeater frame is developed with several stress points to apply even pressure across the length of the blade, for a smooth, clean wipe. The embedded friction reducers assure that the blade will conform to the distinctive form of your windshield, for total clearing. Constructed from galvanized steel, the Weatherbeater frame resists rust and corrosion for long lasting durability. The natural rubber squeegee resists cracking, splitting and tearing brought on by heat, cold, windshield washer fluid and salt.

no streaking noted, but in fairness not too long ago set up new wipers on all automobiles. I do have Aquapel on the new Saturn and no streaking with wipers in a rain x wiper adapter Removal shower nowadays. Looks like each are fantastic solutions and took away my prior alarm to items like Rain-X which streak and give alot of wiper chatter.
