I had my brand new, one day old wipers "chatter" or skip across the window too. Somebody suggested getting silicone blades, but when I went to get them, the local Kragens didn't have any. So I mentioned to the manager what was going on and he said to make sure clean the window very well before installing them and do applications of Rain-X and they would not chatter if I kept reapplying it every couple of weeks. He was so confident it would solve the problem, that he had me buy the cheapest blades and told me if it still did it that he would refund me my money and give me a free set of the premium wipers.

It did solve the problem! Not a single chatter since. That was a month ago.

I dont wanna have to put rain x on my car ever 2 weeks though so I dont have this problem.

You could always buy the Rain-X blades. They apply as they wipe.

So its deff my wipers and not the wiper motor? cuz the wipers I have now are about 2 months old. I was told that wipers can "warp" from the sudden change of temp, is this true?

Well, they can warp. And I thought you said 4 months? :confused: Anyhow, I bought some good bosch wipers when I was at the beach in 2004 for my Explorer, and the day I put them on, they melted onto my windshield. I was pissed. Went back to my old wipers.

haha im sorry it was 4 months ago, im tired its been a long day. They MELTED into your windshield? wow how hot was it?

:abovelol: haha, that's wonderful.

I've lived a lot of my life in Australia, and I can't remember a time that I had a windshield wiper blade melt to the windshield. You should have sent an angry letter to Bosch and told them about it.

On a sort of related note. A friend of mine complained about having a dirty tray on a flight once, and got a free flight anywhere the airline flew to use another time. You don't know unless you tell a company what went wrong.

I'd very much doubt that it's the motor. You could try flipping the arms up and running them and see if they still do it. Most wipers are so cheaply made anymore, that it's pretty common to have them crap out fast or be crap right out of the box.

Oh, and a tip, be sure to check you new wipers carefully before you purchase them, there are a lot of people who return used/damaged wipers and they get resold. I try to only get the kind that come in sealed blister packs.

When its pouring out they dont do it, only when its a drizzle. I think im just going to haveto get better wipers.
