I HATE Rain-X! Oh, I followed the directions to a "T" several different times. for me, it was like having a film of oil on the windshield and the wiper blades skipped. Like Armor- All...won't touch it!

W/S wiper arms are designed to put a certain amount of down force for every inch of wiper blade. If you use triple edge balade, there is only one third the pressure for each inch of blade contact. This may be okay for rain, but fail to remove snow or muddy splashes on the glass. Harry

Say, just a helpful hint on those squeaky and chattering wipers... Most folks are un-aware that the products (most specifically the wax) that automatic car washes use deteriorate the wiping quality of your blades prematurely from build-up. Try this to bring back your blades: Lift the wiper arm up off the windsheild, spray the blade well with a good quality glass cleaner, let it soak while you also clean the window with the glass cleaner. Then clean the blades, reapply if needed and clean again. That should do it, if they still skip and chatter, you need to replace them.
