Windshield Wiper Chatter

I used the wipers for the first time today, and I was surprised that they did not slide smoothly across the glass. They kept grabbing the glass to make a loud chattering noise - quite annoying. I have the HUD, so I know it has a special type of glass. Anybody else have this problem? Would Rain-X possibly help?

I had a little bit of chatter when I had to use my wipers a few weeks back. Wasn't terrible though but still noticeable and a tad annoying on a brand new car. I don't have HUD so I don't believe it has to do with the glass. I recall this topic from another thread as well and if I recall correctly others have reported this same issue with MB wipers for a few years. I always use Rain-X glass cleaner on my windows as well.

I just ordered this: Aquapel 88625-47100 Glass Treatment. Maybe it will help...
