G550 / Wagon Wipers - Replacements to fix streaking?
Hey guys, got a g550 and the wipers are AWFUL. They leave a streak right in my eye sight about 4"s high. Unsure what to do. I cleaned it a few times and nothing gets rid of it. It makes night time driving in rain almost impossible. It's so frustrating. I am in a tank but cant see where I am going :-)!
Anyone experience this and changed their blades to something awesome? Please share! Thanks!

Just ordered the Forza Hybrid Silicone Wiper Blade, 16"
I have no clue how to install them - hope it is easy.
I will report back on the level of ease and then how they work in rain snow salty roads and ice!

Thanks for all the input - here is the winner after trying a range of wiper options and cleaners from RainX to Bosch:
Winner to me: 16" PIAA Forza Hybrid Silicone Wiper Blade
I picked up the blade from TireRack. Installed and ran it though mud splash, rain and nighttime rain, and frosty conditions in Vermont.
I put it on the drivers side and left the original blade on passenger side to test the difference. The forza was simply amazing. I am nerding out showing passengers how awesome a wiper blade is.
It's 100% streakless and the cleanest view I have had in years - including my RRSports new OEM blades.
What is a bonus about the blade after its function is deisgn. It comes in a "aerodynamic" shape. Who knows if it works BUT the look is really bad ***! I love it.
So if you got a G Truck and want a quality blade check that one out.
