Jumping Wiper Blades

cewrx7r1 · 12-09-2008, 05:54 PM

Even with new wiper blades: after they wipe about 2 minutes in the rain and all the crap is wiped off, they start griping the window so hard that they start jumping. The only way to stop it is at full wiper speed. If the washer fluid is then squirted, it stops for a little while. Seems to be too much friction between the blades and glass.

I wonder if the Rain-X is the problem as I do not remember ever having this problem until using it. It does this with the stock Mazda wiper blades and normal aftermarket one.

Anyone have this problem? I wonder if the new one piece Bosch blades will work OK. Maybe I have to stop using Rain-X.
