Good video for someone who needs to see it, but I've ran across a blade skipping/jumping across the glass even after I replaced with quality blades. I found my issue to be not the blades itself but actually the wiper arms themselves being tweaked ( excessive force put on the arms, crazy ex ripping off wiper arms etc.. ) but the arm on my driver's side was twisted just slightly causing the blade to not rock back and forth across the glass during the wiper blade sweep. Readjusted the arm and no more noise. That noise drove me insane!!
Trick to give your wipers some more life. Like he said in the video, your wipers squish to one side after a while. Slightly lift the blade, move it an 1/8" and drop it back down such that the blade is now leaning in the opposite direction. Do this when you know you won't be using your blades for a while (based on rain forecast) and your blades will sit for a week or more helping them heal. If you do use your wipers, just repeat the procedure after you park.
Excellent tip. I've haven't done that, but I sometimes watch when I shut the car off with the wipers on to catch it on the up stroke. That only holds the wipers the other way until I start the car again though.
This 100% worked for a well known and very irritating juddering issue with OEM wiper blades on Mercedes cars and SUVs (new or old blades). This hack cost all of $9 for the Polish and 10min of my time. It saved my sanity as well as $40 vs the other recommend solution (which is to buy aftermarket Bosch blades). Thank you!!
This make so much sense, thank you. So I found that when I blast the windscreen with the heater on full heat the noise begins to stop but after a while comes back as heater is turned off, so softening the blades with heat will work as this will allow the blade to flow rather than push against. Also this is a brand new car with brand new wipers could also be standard of blade.
Appriciate the video, but in most cases, it's the angle of the wiper arm that needs adjusted. Iv'e tried evrything...premium blades, etc...and after intense research, found out about the angle being adjusted. It works even on old wiper blades. Cleaning like this, is very temporary.
The cause is typically the blades themselves that had dried out rubber from the sun. It has absolutely nothing to do with the angle of the wiper arm. Which is not adjustable on any vehicle I've ever seen.
Sounded about right to me. Actually if I turn the video off and just listen to the sound, I thought it was in fact my wiper blades. And I’m sitting on the couch right now.
I resently clay toweled my windshield to get the contamintes off,which works great. I tried the wipers and they chattered out of control. I applied polish and now they wipe without a sound. Great video!
Mine had a judder on the passenger side (long arm) wiper just when it was completing a cycle and coming to rest. I cleaned both the wiper blade and the affected part of the windscreen with a multi-purpose cleaning wipe and it’s gone now. Thanks!
Chris Fix has a video on super cleaning a windshield. The effect is as you described: “Hey! Where’d the glass go!?”. He uses wax, and I’ve had mixed success with it, partly because I think I let it sit too long before buffing. The water comes off the glass so well you don’t need wipers over 40 mph. I’m going to try Nu Finish
Thank you so much! The dragging has been driving me nuts and I had heard about the alcohol thing but it just didn’t sound right to me because of the drying of the rubber. I will do this, thanks again.
Just twist the arm slightly by gripping the flat part of the arm close to the attachment joint. twist in millimeters until the blade is perpendicular to the windshield, then you get the correct "flip-flop" effect of the blade on the glass. No need for creams, gels, waxes etc
One day my wiper suddenly skips so bad that it causes the wiper to come off from the wiper hook and it leaves bit of black goo all over the windshield. Tried to align and adjust the angle of the wiper, nothing. Tried clay bar on the windshield - not much difference. Bought new wiper, same skipping noises. Then tired and at my wits end, I took a bucket of water and one bottle cap of car shampoo, give it a quick wash, the noise gone!
@@SmoknJaysGarage Your very welcome. The public needs more shows like that to solve car problems for sure. Awesome show. I had the same problem with my wipers and could not figure it out. LoL. God bless you Always and Thanks again.
I had used Rain X in the past to get a satisfactory result. However, I got a similar idea as yours months ago. So, I cleaned the windshield really well, and applied Nu Finish... I did not get the result expected. So much that I cleaned it really well again to remove the polish. Might give it a second try. (By the way, we seem to have the same model of car...). I just put brand new OEM Bosch wipers two days ago, and the driver side (as too often the case whatever brand I put on) is way too noisy. Will give Nu Finish a second chance...
@@SmoknJaysGarage It occurred to me that the wiper arm on the driver side might have bent over time (...), as it 'skips' going up. My mechanic thinks the arm pushes the wiper blade too much against the glass. This shall be fixed at next visit...
Basically you are "lubricating" the windshield/wiper contact point so it's a smooth wipe which stops the skipping. You can also get certain formulas of windshield washer fluid that help with this "lubrication" scenario. When it rains, and you first turn on your wipers and notice the skipping, just pump a little washer fluid out there and it should stop. Yes, washer fluid even if it's raining. Obviously if it's a downpour it's pointless! If you are doing this, it probably means you should polish your windshield or replace with new blades. Anyway, here the full scoop on this concept.... czcams.com/video/tHcaem4EZmk/video.html
Doing this is fine if you have a brand new windshield. If you travel, freeways or highways, your windshield will be sandblasted from dirt that the cars in front of you have picked up and this paste will be stuck in the minute chips in the windshield glass and cause a haze that will make driving into the sun very miserable.
I have a brand new mazda cx5. I made the mistake and put rain x on the windshield thinking it would help with rain visibility because I did not like the wipers the car came with. They also dont make many wipers with this new arm attachment Mazda starting using. Anyway I used the rain x and all I got was wiper chatter. It’s horrible. I will try this. Thanks
If the blade is not sitting perpendicular to the windshield the chatter will occur. I bend the wiper arm, not the blade in order to get the the blade as perpendicular as possible. 99% of the time this alone fixes the chatter. There are plenty of videos showing how to bend your wiper arms using two cresent wrenches. Don't do the one wrench trick becuase your putting pressure on the wiper transmission pivot which will eventually damage it. Try it, you will thank me.
Another thing that will cause wipers to skip no matter how good they or your windshield are is setting them too high (too short a delay between wipes, or even using continuous when you should be using intermittent--something I really hate when I see other drivers do!). Your wipers need enough water on the windshield to work properly!
You can just use glass cleaner if you're more comfortable with that. However, I have been using rubbing alcohol for several years now with no adverse effects.
mine doesn't do any noise, it just has a point that seems to be not touching the window. that means after wiping, I will have a full on arch on my windshield that looks dirty, and the rest cleaned. I replaced the wipers, worked fine for 6 months, now it started again. it's so annoying.
@@SmoknJaysGarage that might actually be it. i just searched on google how much whipers last and it says 6-12 months. didn't know they generally have such a short life span.
I use a micro fiber tower. I typically don't like paper towels on a car because they can give real fine scratches. However, if that's all you have, it wouldn't do any damage to a windshield.
I tried that, indeed it solve the noise problem, but it created another problem. The window become glaze when Street light shine on front wind screen when wiper is turned on during raining day....
You may have to replace them. I would try something like VRT from Adam's Polishes. I haven't tried it personally, but I intend to as soon as mine get dried out enough.
I changed a new set of wiper but problem still exist. May I know applying wd40 to wiper, is it advisable? Will it caused a oil film on the wind screen and affect vision?
I want to try will coating the wiper blades with natural graphite powder that doesn't contain other stuffs solved the problem? Since many wiper are graphite coated when there new by the factory so i want to do it my own now
I don't think that will help because typically by the time the wipers start making noise, the rubber is already hardening. But I've never tried it so I'm not certain. If you do it, let us know the results.
@@SmoknJaysGarage ill need to use mutiple layer of graphite powder so it really gets in the rubber kinda took me a while so imma tell you the result later
I think nu finish is like a paint sealant rather than a wax... so would other paint sealants work just as well? I just don't wanna have to go out and buy another bottle!
The arms are where your wipers are attached. The actual bar that goes goes back and forth. There os a spring holding them on ip against the widow. It's possible that that spring has broken.
Yeah but what he doesn’t tell you it will leave a thick ass cloud on your windshield in high humidity, and the wiper will still streak if it’s a slanted windshield. My Finish isn’t for me.
I don't say that because it isn't true. When properly applied, I have found no negative side effects of any kind. And I've been doing this to all my vehicles, twice a year, for quite afew years.
It is an alcohol based cleaner/disinfectant. You should be able to find it at your local department store in or near the first aid aisle. It's actually called "rubbing alcohol".
Polish only improves the contact and seal to the windshield. It’s really only general maintenance. A slipping wiper means there’s other mechanical issues. The angle of the squeegee must be as close to a 90 degree angle to the glass as possible. Search “windshield wiper angle” to view pictures. You can also turn your vehicle off with the wipers in mid stroke to see the angle of incidence.
I would change the wipers themselves. Assume they are old and the spring tension - the pressure of the wiper against the window - is incorrect. This can happen over time.
@@TruthHasSpoken you are right.. That is definitely a possibility. I just thought I'd hold off on doing that though, since my vehicle has only 2y 5m time left before it is headed to the scrapyard...
@@recklessdrivinginsingapore My mechanic suggested doing so a couple of years ago and the problem went away ... agree that it's a last resort due to the cost
I haven't compared rainx personally. But I have heard that if you use it, they can't repair chips in your windshield. At least that's what "the guys in the little red truck" told me.
I waxed my windshield with regular paste wax, out of curiosity. Now im trying to find out how to remove it. I clay bar'd it for 30 mins and washed it with soapy water but its not comin off. Can anyone help an idiot out?.
Probably your glass has a lot of crud built up on it. Clean it, and clay bar it, you'll be surprised how much dirt is actually on it. And how much clearer you can see afterwards
You’re getting a like just for the fact you made the juddering noise at the start 😂
Wow...even dry they were smooth...Im impressed!
Ps. Your skipping windshield wiper sound effect was spot on! :)

I understand that silicone wipers last longest. Also, wiping blades with protectant like Armor-All preserves the rubber.
Don't put that on blades. It smears your window.

Use WD-40 "SILICONE" spray to lubricate wiper blades and door seals.
I actually never used their silicone spray, thanks for the tip.
Doing this is fine if you have a brand new windshield. If you travel, freeways or highways, your windshield will be sandblasted from dirt that the cars in front of you have picked up and this paste will be stuck in the minute chips in the windshield glass and cause a haze that will make driving into the sun very miserable.

You can just use glass cleaner if you're more comfortable with that. However, I have been using rubbing alcohol for several years now with no adverse effects.
SJ, I wish you had named substitute brands for your brand name products.
This is the only polish I've found that works this good. There may be others out there, but I haven't found one.
Do you polish the inside of your windshield as well?
Yes, but with different product. That video is at the end of this one.

I didn't notice any shine during the day. Are you sure you didn't use a wax? Wax will leave streaks. Otherwise be sure you buff it completely off.
Could you use a silicone spray on the blades instead of WD40 to prevent the drying effect or would it give a similar result?
I think silicone might leave streaks on the windshield.... but I haven't tried it.
I like my windshield to smell good
Does it leave a haze at night time?
Excellent question. No, it doesn't. As long as you buff if off properly, it is amazing clear. No hazing at all.
What annoys me is people who never clean their cars
I hear you! I feel the same way.

Noisy wiper is a mechanical issue. Cleaning/waxing is not a permanent solution. Demo before cleaning and waxing was must ...
It's just dried out wipers.
Does detergents from a Car Wash remove the polish ?
Yes

The bottle says it's a polish not a wax. I'm not exactly sure how it differs (if at all) from a paint sealant...
did he say what to clean the wipers with?
I used Adam's waterless wash when I filmed this. If you're washing your car first, just use whatever you're washing with.
how long can it last.
About 3-6month depending how much rain your car sees. I typically reapply every 6 months.
I put my wipers on BRAND NEW a like 2 mnoths ago abd now all of a sudden over night theyre skippong
If you're parking outside in the sun, that can dry the rubber very fast.
