Giya, have you tried wiping your windshield with denatured alcohol? Then maybe apply Rain-X?
My windshield actually has an indent where the wipers switch position. All that wiping over the years wore out the windshield!

I recently installed a set of the Bosch OEM-style blades, they were fine for a few months (which means 1-2 times in the rain), then the driver's side wiper started chattering MERCILESSLY. Ditched them today for Icons. Will report back how they do. Though after a few crazy monsoon rainstorms, the monsoon season may now be just about over with - suckers probably won't see rain till November. :0

I'm too lazy to check and see if this has been said already, but:
- I clay my window with either clay or the nanoskin pad thing
- Apply rain-x, wax, or a sealant (klasse or whatever I'm using at the time)
- Clean wiper blades with rain-x, etc.
I use the PIAA SI-Tech 20 and 22" blades and have been pretty happy with them.

I see different sizes for driver's side mentioned above. My car came with Icons so I suppose I'll stick with them since I don't have the other hardware and the get good reviews. What size?
