Why Does My BMW 2 Series Windshield Washer Fluid Leave Streaks Instead of Cleaning?

When I use my windshield washer fluid, it spreads but leaves streaks instead of properly cleaning the glass. Could it be a problem with the washer fluid itself, the nozzles, o r the glass surface?

If your washer fluid leaves streaks, the issue could be:

Low-Quality Washer Fluid: Some fluids contain additives that leave streaks rather than cleaning the glass.
Clogged o r Misaligned Nozzles: Blocked washer nozzles can spray unevenly, leading to streaky residue.
Old o r Dirty Wiper Blades: Worn-out blades won’t effectively spread and remove the fluid, leaving streaks behind.
Solution: Use a high-quality washer fluid, clean o r replace wiper blades, and check for clogged nozzles.
