Solution for wiper blade 'chatter'?

Do you use RainX now that the other product is discontinued? I suppose its a possible side effect of RainX and I just never noticed cause I have always used RainX. But like I said above, not willing to give up the visibility so Id have to find a work around

 

I did use it and liked it! Until those around me showed such conviction that it was the cause of chatter (which I've had, just not consistently enough to prove one way or the other). Damn peer pressure. lol
I do not use it now. Not in the last 4 years. Would love to find out that it doesn't hurt anything (blades, chatter, edge seals, etc.) just so I could use it again! I love not needing wipers.

 

I’m running two 22”. I don’t give a shit.

 

I ran two 22in blades on my Taco also with no issues. Lots of people do it

 

I cleaned the windshield really well with regular old fashioned windex and a clean glass microfiber during lunch break. Also cleaned the rubber blades really well. It definitely helped, we'll see how long it lasts.

If I was thinking I would have done one at a time to see which helped more...

 

I used Rain Xwiper fluid for years never aproblem .

ThenI run Snow Blades year round new driver side every winter. MO

 

Now they make silicone rubber wiper blades. My first pair, Piaa brand lasted about 3 years, amazing considering I'd go through a pair every 6-9 months before. The next pair I got from wally world, I think Michelin. They don't look or perform as good. I switched brands per project farm recommendation.

For chattering, one trick is to flip them over. Works sometimes, sometimes the way they're designed they can't be flipped.

 

I hate windex

 

What did windex ever do to you?

 

Similar problems for me, but for some reason it ONLY ever chatters on the driver's side. I'm sure its related to an angle or pressure of the arms, but I haven't figured out the magic trick yet. I'm stuck buying new sets every other oil change. Its probably my least favorite thing to spend money on!

 

Theres better stuff to use

 

Yeah, now that you mention it almost all my issues are on the drivers side as well

 

I do like some of the suggestions mentioned earlier in the thread. Clean windshield + quick/regular cleaning of the blades is pretty reasonable if it can extend the life.

 

Yeah, things like sun baked tree sap, bird crap, splattered bugs wear em out. I left a car in an airport parking lot for 3 weeks, it was covered in some sandpaper like stuff that destroyed my blades.

 

I mean... That's like saying there are faster trucks. There's always something better, faster, etc. For a windshield I think Windex does just fine

 

"I'm not going to lie to you, this is gonna hurt"

 

You're not supposed to wash your contact lenses in the stuff

 

Replacing wipers every 6-9 months is just as normal as replacing the oil every 6-9 months. I've always done so and don't see it as a problem. The heat and sunlight in a southern state is just going to damage rubber in a few months and there isn't much you can do to prevent it.
