New Windshield -- Wipers Scraping

I purchased a CPO 2011 ML350 earlier this year -- new wipers installed and worked on the original windshield.


There was a slight chip in windshield that could not be repaired, and the dealer paid for new windshield install.


First time it rains -- wipers are dragging across windshield -- awful "rubber-scraping" noise. I clean windshield with window cleaner (on advice from dealer) twice. Next time it rains, same problem.


Questions: Are the MB wipers that bad? Do new windshields have different contour than OEM? Should I just buy new wipers? Favorite brand?

Clean the blades with rubbing alcohol, and clean the windshield with Bon-Ami using a wet sponge, then rinse thoroughly.
