Im sick and tired of My Bosch Micro edge wipers... They are good when they work but it wears out very quickly and starts to chatter like crazy...

What kind of wipers do you use that wipes good and doesnt chatter.

I bought the same ones last november at 16.99 ea from kragen and now they chatter all the time on the upswing. I noticed that if i lift both arms from the windshield and let them slam back down. The chatter goes away for about 10min or less.

OEM... cheap and effective. Pick em up at your dealer for like 15 bucks. Durable, no chatter for me at all. I have an S13 though, dunno if that makes a difference.

my local pep-boys did not have the Bosch Micros, so I go the ones that were one step lower in price. Works great so far and it's been 3 months. Snow, rain, freesing rain, and snot.

I just put on PIAA Super silicon wiper blades. They are Awesome!!!!! They leave a thin layer of silicon on the winshield so when it does rain it just beads up and fly's off the winshield. The only bad thing is that there kinda pricy.



"The world’s finest wiper blades period ! PIAA Super High Performance pure silicone wiper blades. These silicone rubber compound blades (not silicone coated like cheaper, inferior brands) are extremely durable, and resistant to drying up and hardening up like standard rubber blades, and are not affected by rain, freezing cold, extreme heat, and dirt and grime, to give you, precise clarity while driving during inclement weather. Many times people put the best tires, brakes and suspension for driving in bad weather, but completely ignore one thing - vision. With these super high quality wiper blades, you will see clearer, for a safer, securer drive. A MUST for auto-x and road racers who KNOW how important vision is for performance driving."

Get the rain-x or michelin wipers from Target. I have used both they are about $8 each. They are both great and have lasted quite a while. I would highly reccomend either one.Josh

i use rainX too its great stuff in rain.. But its only good at high speeds because when you go slow, water doesnt roll off the windshield very well. You can also get the windsheild washer fluid wint rainX stuff already in it.

So the PIAA ones dont chatter? My stockers chattered too...
