Windshield wipers chattering!


Recommended Posts

So I have new wiper blades and all they do is skip and "chatter" and it is pissing me off so much. Any one can help me out?

i put new bosch wiper blades on my car and they have chattered since then

 

my old worn out anco wiper blades didn't chatter but they left thin beads of water crossing the windshield

Did the old wiper blades chatter?

 

There's probably some "cheese" on your windshield that needs to be cleaned off.

 

Get some Bon Ami cleaning powder. Wet the windshield and sprinkle on some powder. Get a sponge and scrub....scrub....scrub. Rinse well. The water should sheet off of the windshield and not bead. If the water beads, it's not yet clean.

 

Now that it's clean, DO NOT apply stuff like Rain-X, etc. When Rain-X gets old, it makes wipers chatter in my experience.

 

I've also had my wipers chatter after using some Brand-X pre-mixed washer fluid too.

Yeah, I have bosch wiper blades, but my anco's chattered but not to much. So great another Bosch product that sucks. :roll: :roll: But I put Rain-X on all the time, and the rain water still beads and rolls off, I'll mess with it this weekend.

Yeah, using a glass cleaner may make a difference. Read that just yesterday in the wife's new Vibe handbook.
