New wiper blades that still leave streaks describes what the car is doing, not which component has failed. Similar behavior can come from a mechanical issue, an electrical connection, maintenance condition, or a control-system response.

Start with evidence you can verify: Clean the windscreen with a suitable product and check blade fit and arm pressure. Replace a part only when a test supports that decision.
