I just 'treated' my poorly working blades with some Armorall....sprayed
it on and wiped it off a couple of times, using a soft rag that had more
Armorall on it.  Mine had blank spots on the glass and were really
streaking badly and now they work fine again.   These were cheap-o refill
blades that I strung into some old arms because I couldn't find a proper
fitting blade that I wanted to buy....

  I think the Armor all revived the rubber of the blades...dunno for how
long..
