How to Fix Wiper Blade Chatter?

Wiper blades are rubber products that can harden and deteriorate over time. The simplest and most effective solution is to directly replace them with new wiper blades. Car owners can check and clean the wiper blades or the area underneath them to ensure there are no foreign objects, keeping the wiper blade area clean.

Wiper blade judder is quite common, and my experience is to start with the simple fixes. First, thoroughly clean the windshield using a glass-specific cleaner or degreaser to remove oil and dust, as these contaminants can cause the wipers to skip. Then, inspect the wiper blades for signs of aging or deformation, such as cracked rubber or uneven edges—if there’s an issue, replacing the blades is inexpensive and can be done easily online. If the judder is severe, I also check whether the wiper arm is loose by gently pulling it to ensure the screws are tight. Applying silicone lubricant to the pivot points can reduce friction. Most importantly, don’t underestimate judder—it can obscure visibility and make driving in rain or snow dangerous. I recommend inspecting the wiper system every six months, especially before the rainy season, as this saves money and ensures safety.
