Windshield Wiper chatter

[jeandeau]

Has anyone experienced poor windshield wiper performance? Passenger side wiper chatters when used. It never gave good performance and is espescially bad when mud splashes on the windshield, making visibilty impossible to the right side. There is a service bulletin fitting this description available to US dealers but Canadian dealers seem to ignore the problem.. Thanks

No issues on my 07, but then I have replaced the wiper blades. Smooth as silk.

Chatter is a combination of a dirty window and/or dirty or worn wiper blades. Clean the window a few times, not only once, to remove oil deposits and replace the wiper blades. I think you can get refill blades from the dealer, do not throw out the wipers, they are worth a couple of hundred together. I replaced the blades and housing at Canadian Tire for I think $50. Did the rear, bought a blade from the dealer for $7.
