I suspect you need new or a better brand of blades, my wipers do a great job,

I find them very good actually.....
Along w/ new blades, you might want to clay your windshield to remove any surface contaminants. Just like claying your paint makes it smooth, claying the glass will do the same allowing wipers to make full contact w/ the glass...

Coming from a Z4 one of the first things I noticed was how much better the wipers were on the boxster.
Looks like you need new ones.

Just you.....I was just commenting this morning the pitch dark on my way to work. (YES IT IS FRIDAY AND I DROVE THE BOXSTER!  ) --- They work quite perfectly, while my "headlight pump washers" tend to work OK, I wouldn't really know as I never use them.

If you must use your wipers, you are mistreating your Porsche. It should never be left out in or driven in the rain. My boxster's windshield wipers have only been used twice, and I went straight to confession afterwards
She's old and beat up, but she's a garage queen now!
I put some Bosch replacement wiper blades/bows on the car and it cleans the windows beautifully. Don't replace just the rubber bit.

My car has wipers?
I agree with Randall. "Forgive me Father for I have sinned, it has been many months since my last confession"! 
Clean your windshield with 1 part denatured alcohol and 2 parts distilled water, mixed in a spray bottle. Spray a 100% white terry cloth towel till very wet, scrub windshield, and then buff dry with anther white 100% terry cloth towel.

Bill, you forgot a concluding sentence:
"Then, put your clean, happy boxster in the garage under a Porsche-approved car cover until the weather is beautiful and you have the time to drive the car at speed and at length ... the way a Porsche should be driven."
I'm bound to get chastised for this, but it's worth it.

As much as I had hoped not to, I have to drive my boxster this winter. Last winter, she was put away on a pedestal if that reduces any hail marys for me.
Off to get some Bosch replacement then.
Thanks guys.
