Need some advice and top secret remedies you might have!
How do you stop the wipers chattering!?!
I bought some new one's and they make a heck of a noise when they swipe back down (as if they are too dry).
Any tips?

try rain x or the like for stopping smearing of water droplets on windscreen, you know the stuff, says that water beads off instantly etc, that stuff reduces the friction of your windscreen massively and would probably help the issue

Please check before if you have rain sensors as I'm sure it says not to clean windscreen with certain chemicals as it can cause problems with the sensors ?
Try cleaning the wipers with a cloth with some meths on it, this usually does it for me.

Yeah sanj, rain x. It makes the screen very smooth to the touch so may help things on the backward stroke
