Did you wash your car recently, and did the windshield get that spray-on car wash wax stuff? I've found sometimes my wiper blades squeak from that stuff.
Sometimes when my wiper blades squeak all it takes is just cleaning them off, wiping them down w/isopropyl alcohol. --------------------  |

No way; a real ricer would drill holes in em and wrap em with foil so they squeek louder  RAINX; my friend; rainx wipers and the fluid that you add to your washer fluid. Rainx is the only way to go.

Learn from those of us who live in the damn PNW amazon! LOL Rain-X goes on your windows (I guess, although I don't use it), gotta have teflon coated wiper blades, no wax on the windshield, and wipe the blades down occasionally, even w/a paper towel with windex on it or something.

I beg to differ... I grew up outside of DC (DC was LITERALLY built on a swamp!) and spend my teenage/early adult years in NYC before moving here. So don't challenge me on humidity! I've been through it, in fact it's one of the reasons I LEFT NYC!
Anyway we're talking about actual precipitation here, not swimming through the air.
