Question:
No matter what type of windshield wiper I put on the car, it always chatters.
Answer:
Wiper Chattering is caused by one of two problems. The first is due to poor
quality rubber blades and frames, while the second is from the angle the blade
is wiping against the glass. I use Bosch and Rain-x wiper blades.
Correcting the chatter from an angle problem is simple. You will need a 6-inch
adjustable wrench. Slide the wrench at the end closest to the wiper blade over
the arm. Adjust the wrench to the arm. Simply bend the arm slightly to change
the angle the blade is hitting the glass. If the blade is chattering on the
up-stroke, make a slight change to angle the wiping edge downward.
