Windshield Wipers Help

Car is a DD. It's rain pretty much recently in Florida. My windshield wipers are jumpy on the windshield and making loud noise. I went through 2 set of OEM wipers and one refillable set by Trico. Every new set seems to work for a week then making a loud noise again. The passenger side wiper is curved so other brand may not fit. I try cleaning the windshield very good with Windex, Rain X, and even applying wax. Nothing works yet.

Need wipers, please advise!

Thanks.

I would start with the windshield first. You might have contaminant build up. Start with a good glass cleaner, then clay bar on the windshield, give it a good cleaning. Then apply a treatment.

I currently use Adam's cleaning product.

I also have the Bosch ICON blades on my car. The passenger blade doesn't make contact with a few inches at the bottom on the glass. Does not affect viability.

I haven't used RainX in a while. I've also heard some coat the wiper blades with RainX.

Look into the Bosch Evolution wiper blades. It rains most of the year here and I daily drive my car. I love the wipers.

Yeah I'm pretty sure. They have quite a bit of bend in them before they touch the windshield. Then the shape windshield forces them flat. They're pretty bulky though. The OEM bosch ones are dainty compaired to these. These are like scoops!

My PIIA silicon refillable inserts order arrived. Day 1 under light rain looks promising. Will report back in few week.

Car windshield is pretty clean and maybe better than my eyeglass but making noise. Will try clay bar or Bosch Evolution next if new inserts do not work out.

Thanks.
