brand new Bosch wipers chattering only wit rain/ water?

NudeLobster · 11-02-2013, 04:16 PM

So I tracked down proper Bosch aerotwin wipers for my E90 and bought em (from Oriellys. Wayyy over priced. get em from rockauto). I've cleaned em with rubbing alcohol and everything but no matter what they start to chatter after a while in rain. If I spray my washers, they are dead silent again like they were lubricated by the washer fluid. Anyone have this happen before and fixed it? It's really bothersome to have to tap the washers every 20-30 seconds when its raining to make the wipers smooth and quiet again.

Thanks
Justin

Clean the windshield thoroughly with Bon Ami on a wet microfiber towel or damp sponge. Remove it before it dries using another microfiber towel. Bon Ami (available at most grocery stores / supermarkets) will remove contaminants from the glass which glass cleaners typically won't remove. It's also good if you've used Rain-X and want to remove it. Rain-X can also cause chattering and can be a royal pain to remove.
