Do you mean down the edge? If its down the middle you need to change rubber. Scrim will do it

practise until you don't leave a line. tilt the squeegie to a very slight angle and it will not happen and overlap your pulls

check there isn't a bit of grit behind the rubber and the channel, also check for even a hair can do that. and make sure it doesn't have a nick in the blade, no point changing soap until you fix the problem
