Wiper rattle after exoshield install

Not sure if anyone else has this issue. After I got the wxoshield installed wipers have been rattling like crazy to the point that I can’t use them. The shop who installed the shield had applied a coat of ceramic but it is not really helping much. Are there any better quality wipers that I could try ?

will have to wait till some of that ceramic wears off or spraying intermittently with the washer fluid. you can also try putting another coat on.

Order 17". 16" too small.
Best wipers ever. Smooth. No rattle. Streak free. I ordered them for all my MB & my Aston. Never will buy any other brand.

ok. I ordered 16 first. They were too short. I took picture next to oem. They sent 17s and told me to keep the 16s. Maybe contact CS.

Yeah I've had exoshield and clear plex on two G63's and the chatter is bad; however, it does get better with time if that's any consolation.

by any chance could you PM me your order number ? Windy guy is insisting that correct length is 16. I measured it today again and both sides are indeed 17”

My order #wouldn't be correct. I ordered the 16s. Took picture to send them. Then they sent me 17s @ no cost. Told me to keep 16s too. They said they would update their system to the correct size.

In the photo, the 16" look more substantial than the 17". Is the thickness different?
