I've been having a problem with wiper chatter on the driver side.[:@]

I recently replaced both inexpensive wiper blades with expensive Bosch blades. For about two weeks, maybe one or two rain storms, it worked fine. Today, chatter started again on the driver side.

Should I replace the wiper arm? I don't think there's any problem with the motor, as the high speed setting works fine (slower than it should be though, because the wiper is "sticking" to the windshield on the left).

Thanks

 

Not to be an *******; but as cheap as Honda wiper inserts areI have never understood why people change to the aftermarket blades.
The problem now is that you'll have to buy Honda blades to get back to square one and start all over again.

O.E.M. only hurts once

 

You think Honda blades will help? You mean the rubber wiper and the blade, or just the insert?

Thanks.

 

I'd reccomend going back to Honda blades too. If you didn't throw your old ones out you can just put inserts on them.

 

Wipers in a nut shell - 2003 Accord EX 4 DR sedan ( 26 inch & 18 inch) - I have tried them all, wasting tons of cake - best setup is just doing refills and using the PIAA silcons ( refills) - little more than the oems but they last a hell longer and do a much better job.

Is the chatter on the Bosch Icons? Ultrablades have this problem a lot. I had a pair of Valeos that sucked! Now I have Silblades and I like them a lot. They carry a 5 year warantee and I think have no competition in this category!

 

Has anyone noticed a brand that is the newer nice silicone AND has Rain X (or something similar) built in for water beading, available in the USA. Very nice and pricey in Japan.
