I had chatter on mine (mainly drivers side) from the factory and applied Rain X in hopes of fixing the issue but it only worked for a few minutes then chattered horribly! I then tried wax and various other treatments and nothing worked for more than a few mins. I've used Rain X on every vehicle I've owned and it's never caused an issue (Wasn't aware of the owner manual stating not to do this). I also tried the Icon blades and some Rain X blades. Again, nothing worked. It was so intolerable my wife wanted to sell the car. Keep in mind, we live in Palm Beach so rain during a good portion of the year is nearly a daily activity and the blades dancing around the windshield are very distracting and very embarrassing in a $100k car. To make matters worse, we both travel for work and when we get in a Chevy Cruz and the wipers are flawless it just adds fuel to the fire.
Took it to SC and they replaced blades and claimed to resolve the matter. Again, worked for a few mins then chatter returned. Took it back to SC and they stripped the windshield of all treatments and claimed it was resolved again. I will say that it was much better but not resolved. And it appears in the process they damaged the finish of the windshield. I get really unusual streaking now, especially at sunrise/sunset when the dew is just starting to accumulate. Very disappointing.
I resorted to Auto Geek and asked their advice. They sounded certain that the SC damaged the windshield but suggested the product below. I applied it and the problem is now 95% resolved. The best it's ever been since taking delivery. Still not acceptable but we can live with it. I still haven't decided how to handle the damage to the windshield. I am afraid replacing it might cause another new issue but might not have a choice at some point if the finish gets even worse.
Has anyone replaced drivers side wiper blade with the next size smaller? I've thought about doing this.
