My windshield wipers are only a few months old, and I live in Sacramento, California, which has rain in the winter. Wipers are only available threough the dealer, at $90.00 per pair. Does anyone have a fix for wipers that work well, yet sometimes chatter on the windshield?
This has to be a troll, what wipers cost $90?? Wipers for all of our cars cost $10 a pair, $20 for the really good ones. Get a product called rainx, it's for your windshield, it coats it so water beads off, and makes it slick enough where wipers wont squeel going over it.

Sadly enough, wiper blades are designed to last only a few months, no matter what they claim. Oh, they can survive for a year or more, but they start squeaking, streaking, chattering, etc. The real killer of wiper blades is not usage, but the sun. Hot, sun shiny days are killers on wiper blades. One thing you can try is to wipe the blade with rubbing alcohol, put some on a rag and put that on the blade, pinch the blade through the rag, and pull it up and down the blade. This may not do the trick, but squeak indicates a dirty blade. Even though you hit them with the spray at the car-wash, the oxidization doesn't rinse off. Be careful of using anything petroleum based on them. Those will deteriorate the rubber much faster than the hot sun does.
