I'm on the lookout for some stock style replacements that are designed for freezing weather.
Sometimes to get the single piece blades to contact correctly, you have to adjust the tension on the wiper arm. Usually a slight bend to the arm one way or the other will do it.

My truck's blades made really poor contact until I bent the arms to put more pressure on the blades.
