btw please let me share my experience playing on wiper blades
i had tried out a few different cost range wiper blades
the result is, all the rubber finally gonna oxide and they will turn hard and don't clean the screen probably
especially when you always park your car under the sunlight
so what I recommend is , get a mid range price wiper and replace them whenever they turn bad
that should give you the best result for windscreen cleaning
and of course, you need to take care your windscreen as well
I dont use sand paper
I use the 3M blue clay to clean it, which also works.

the damaged wiper no longer stright
so you need to use a fine sand paper to refurbish it to a straight blade so the water won't escape

the sand paper only cost a few dollers
why not try it out for free on a unusable wiper blade?
but of course, it depends, if your case is harden rubber blade then it can't help

btw what happened to the wiper ? moving too fast so it missed the gear?
Just the bolt to tighten the wiper arm is loosen. I think it was due to my wiper jumping on the wind screen and cause too much vibration on the bolt, then loosen.
