Aero Wipers

I'm new to my S4 and was wondering if this was normal or do they need replacing?

There's a patch on the passenger side that doesn't clear. I've tried bending the blade slightly but that has made no difference.

I postd a thread with exactly the same question about 10 posts down - might be worth looking in that (Aero Wipers drving me mad!),

Oh, thanks. What are you gonna do; replace blade or arm?

Since I've only just got the car and I don't know much about them, I didn't want to spend a lot of money (relatively) if I don't need to.

Just the blade I think mate.

I've managed to get mine a lot better just by trial and error with removing the blade and flexing, but with the weather being so bad I've not been able to have proper play.

mine does the same but if you give the wipers a good clean with vinegar they work again.
