I have noticed with some light downpour or condensation on my windshield there’s light streaking on the driver side as you can kind of see in the close up picture below. However if I pour water directly on my windshield or do a co wiper fluid spray the wipe seems more seamless and less streaky, is this a matter of dirty windshield or wipers or time to replace? Previously had inspection in January and they marked wipers as good so not sure if it’s worth getting new or if it’s just simply dirt buildup

Yep, I would clean the windshield and the wiper first and if that does not fix it install new wipers. Let me know how it goes. This video can help as well
