Scraping wipers

Do we have some knowledge on scraping wipers? Had to do a couple of longer trips in the rain and they are terrible. They're scraping when going up, and I see a pattern indicating they come off a bit when going up. Maybe the springs in the wiper arms need more tension?

Or just new blades needed?

Scraping tends to happen when the rubber hardens over time.

yes you need to have rubber blades fitted, its just the metal scraping on the window.
