I've read on this forum that OEM wiper blades are noisy... oh well, I can live with that. I'm experiencing a shudder as the driver side wiper reaches the end of it's sweep and begins to move in the other direction. The blade jumps of the windshield a few time before settling down. What should I do to remedy this problem?

Thank You,
Mark

 

Replace them! 10 bucks and you are fixed.

 

that usually only happens when i'm going more than 65mph? time for new wipers, get amg aero wipers, those are sweet, but if you want to save $ get the piaa wipers witht eh spoilers

 

Try to clean the windshield with alcohol for a start. This should remove at least some deposits that may prompt chatter. How old are the blades?

 

The car is an 02 with 17k on the clock. Since the car is a CPO, are blades covered?

It's happening at all speeds...

Thanks Again!

I suppose they should be covered. I would suggest upgrading to "Aero" wipers ('2005 style). They seem to wipe better than the "old" style wipers.

If you decide to upgrade using OEM parts, you will need new style wiper arms + blades.
As an alternative to OEM you can purchase blades similar to Aero, from Tirerack.com (search for "Valeo" wipers). This way you can use the original arms.
