There may be too much spring pressure. Return to the dealer, as the vehicle is still under warranty.

Buy better blades next time.



%26quot;ANCO%26quot; makes the best. They've been making them for decades.

Bosch, Rain-x and the other aftermarket one suck.
Try applying an approved lubricant to the rubber blades and cleaning the windshield glass with %26quot;Bon Ami%26quot; cleanser which is safe for glass cleaning. Make sure to activate the window spray feature when using the wipers if the glass is dry.

i would try a different set of blades some time the cheaper blades will not wipe as good and will make noise across windsheld try a set of anco
I would change the wiper arms (sounds like a spring tension problem in the arms) Install a fresh set of blades, and when you use the wipers it is always a good Idea to run the washers to remove any fine dust that will eventually scar the glass.
Another brand of washer fluid may also add to reducing the strain of the blades as they pass over the glass.

Typically the flex that the blade edge has and the type of rubber making contact with the glass determines smoothness.
