How to Prevent Chattering Windshield Wipers

Q: I think I saw an ad in a recent issue for some kind of radical new windshield wiper. The wipers appeared to be very different...they looked like a solid white plastic piece, with a black line down the middle. I'm in desperate need of windshield wipers that actually work on my Volvo S60.



A: I can’t help you with the ads since I don’t see them at all until the magazine is back from the printer.



Usually poor windshield wiper performance is fixed by new blades. Chattering can involve judicious tuning of the blades’ angle to the glass.



My suggestion is to try thoroughly cleaning the glass with some non-scratching cleaner like Bon-Ami or Bar Keepers Friend, and follow up with Rain-X.
