Re: Noisy new windshield wiper

Clean your windshield with #000 steel wool and windex. It won't scratch, I promise. Impurities that stick to the glass make new rubber stick more. Normally, the blades rock back and forth as they change direction, but the new rubber makes more friction and more rocking. If it rocks enough, the metal of the wiper blade contacts the glass making a slapping noise. Scrub like crazy with #000 steel wool and it should be fine.
