Ok, so I changed out my wiper blades, and finally after 3 weeks, we had rain. Well, I never have good luck with replacing the blades, becuz now the wipers jump when I turn them on. (even though they are new!) Does anyone have any suggestions? My wiperblades were 2 years old, so I knew they needed to be replaced, but they were just starting to get bad. Now I‘m dealing with terrible wipers. I‘d love to be able to put something on them to make them run smoothly, instead of replacing them.
How old is the car? There are springs that hold the wiper down onto the windshield. If those get very old and wear out, they may not apply enough pressure. This can cause wiper blades to chatter as they move across the windscreen. The car would have to be pretty old for this to be an issue. 8-10 years old maybe?
Wash your car, there is dirt on the screen and / or wiper blades
That's very strange that after fitting brand new wipers, the problem is worse. Are you sure they are fitted correctly, and the clips are properly done up? If they are not fitted perfectly then this could well be why are not working correctly. Here is a guide on fitting windscreen wipers step by step. Just double-check they are on correctly first. www.i-need-wipers .uk/fitting-guide/bosch-super-plus If you still have no joy, give your windscreen a really good clean, and then clean the windscreen wiper rubbers with vinegar (it works really well). If the wipers and the windscreen are still poor, you should look at the wiper arm springs, and if they still have lots of tension in them and are holding the wipers down to the screen well, investigate the wiper motor as a potential problem.
