Jerry Seinfeld loved your video. One of the best he’s seen lol. Especially being a car guy. Heard him on The today interview with Jenna Bush. While having coffee.

One of the best how-to videos. No irritating music. Nobody screaming into the microphone. Excellent.

I can't believe how this guy can control the weather so effortlessly. Amazing.

I like how you never begged for likes, comments or subscription. Video was direct to the point and people have love it. That's how you ear genuine likes, comments and subscribers

Thank you. I'm an older mechanic, and I am amazed how simple fixes and repairs are often overlooked or forgotten about.

This problem has been going on since cars hand wiper blades. But no one has ever explained why or how to fix. So this was good! Thank you!

I fitted and adjusted wipers for 10 years and this is the CORRECT solution to the problem 100% great info that most ppl don’t know 👍

After a three hour journey with 'Screeeeeech' as my soundtrack, you, sir, have no idea how valuable this video has been. A heartfelt thank you.

Love it when someone comes up with a cure for a problem and isn't just treating the symptoms. Nice job!

Watched this video, went out to my van with two crescent wrenches, twisted the metal arm a bit so the rubber blade sits perpendicular to the windshield per the video, and presto! No chatter, wipers now work perfectly where they didn't moments before... Thank you for sharing this tip - its gold!

The root cause is that the wiper rests on the "downsweep" position. After a while at rest (and no rain), the rubber will become fixed into that state. The solution, although you need to do it repeatedly, is to lift the wiper and allow the rubber to "flip back", then place it back down whenever you get home at the end of the day. This is a 2 second job. Better yet, pull the wiper down a cm or so, and then allow the wiper to "spring" back up into the "upsweep" position. This has saved me from replacing my wipers every year (which is a stupid waste of $40/yr for a COMPLETE wiper and blade set for my car) and instead, every 3-4 years instead.

Bravo! Well done. 40 years of working on cars and fighting this problem only to find out it was the angle of attack and or the angle of incidence from the blade to the glass surface. I will see if the Society of Automotive Engineers has a Hall of Fame to which I will make sure you are inducted. Thank you

I am astounded at how well this fixed my skipping wiper. Two months after doing this and it still wipes across the windshield smoothly. Thank you!

Thank you for not making this into a 20 minute video. Some other channels have videos with the same info but they drag it out into 15 or 20 minute videos without much additional content! Simple and to the point is the way to go!

In addition to a misaligned arm, another common cause of this is the resting position of the arm. This is especially common in areas that have long dry periods where the wipers are not used. After a use, whether it is to clean the windshield or because of precipitation, the wiper returns to a park position at the bottom of the windshield. The rubber squeegee is slightly flexed in the direction you showed in your video. As it sits there for a long period of time, and is exposed to high temperatures, the rubber fatigues and stiffens in that position. Ideally there would be a system that slightly lifts the wiper from the glass when it is in a park position. I used to have this problem (chattering wipers) with my RV. To stop it, I would take a small rubber ball and stick it under the arm to lift it off of the glass while it is being stored for extended periods. I got a bag of 5 at the dollar store and just kept them in the console bin. Once or twice I had forgotten to remove them before turning on the wipers. except for 1 time, they dropped won into the little space below and stayed there until I got to my destination. I never had the chattering issue again once I started doing this. I know it isn't practical for a daily driver, but just something to think about.

Congratulations on your video. I'm a 66-year-old retired mechanic and have been doing this procedure for around 40 years. What I would say though is that when you do this, put new blades on at that time and also to be very careful with the Crecent wrenches or tools as it's very easy to break the windshield. Also, I remove the blade and verify that flat portion of the arm where it touches the windshield is squared up and perfect. looking at the blade where it contacts isn't very good for squaring it up. But again, be careful when the arm is raised with no blade as if it is allowed to fall under spring pressure and hit the windshield, most likely it will break the windshield.

So refreshing to see a quick fix that works and I have been doing for most of my 50yrs in the motor trade. Probably the 2 types of tools is a little bit OTT but it works so well done.

Last week I drove about 1000 miles from Scotland to Southern France in two days, and it rained until i got nearly home.The wipers did this all the way. You have just saved my sanity!

Great tip!! Driving with chattering wipers for over the course of 45 years and this is the first time I’ve ever heard the root cause explained. All that money spent on new wipers…😅😮😢

Instantly fixes it. This is the best video I’ve ever seen. New wiper tends to fix it a little, but after a few months, all my mechanic said my windshield viper were good, I asked them why it’s making sound and all they said is because the car is old …

What causes the "bend-over" is the wiper stopping on the downstroke and turning off, leaving the edge of the blade leaning toward the top of the windshield. The rubber then becomes "fixed" (i.e., hardened) in that position, causing the chatter on the wipers' upstrokes. Whenever I remember, I flip the edge of the blade so it points downward, and will now try this "fix" as well.

Great content! I'm 55 and consider myself a "car-guy" but this is the first time I've heard/seen this remedy.. Thank you!

Hey mate, I've been dealing with this on my 2005 Toyota Hilux since buying it second-hand 2 years ago. Tried all the glass cleaning methods possible and tried 3 different sets of wipe blades over 2 years with no success. Watched your video, and in under a minute, problem solved. Can't believe I didn't notice the weird angle the arm was at before now. So, thank you so much for posting this video. BIG THUMBS UP from me mate 👍

Great tip! You showed us the before & after, as well as explaining exactly what was the causing the problem & how to fix it.

Living in Oregon means ... lots of rain. When I looked it up, the average rainfall in my town is 73 to 93 inches yearly. So I'm so very, very thankful for this great tweek. A++

THANK YOU!! My wipers are whisper quiet now. You have no idea how less frustrating driving in the rain is because of this tip. Jesus has a spot for you in Heaven. Lol!

Both wiper arms got bent going through a car wash, which I never take any of my cars anymore! Anyway, I had to readjust them to get them working properly again. I learned how to do this from a buddy a long time ago during a ride along, he couldn't stand the noise. He showed me how to correct it, and never forgot. Great video, hopefully it will help a lot of people and save them money.

Clear and easy to perform. And congrats on having the cleanest hands of any American mechanic!

Saw this, went right out with the tools, tweaked, and.... IT WORKED! Thank you from South Carolina!

36 months of putting up with that racket! Finally solved! THANK YOU!!!

Some videos on youtube are worthwhile and some are not. This video IS worthwhile; worth watching. Thank you very much.

I never realized that could be a cause. I've almost sterilized my windshield and wiper blades thinking that would take care of the issue. Thanks for making this video so straightforward and to the point.

A MASSIVE thank you for this video!!! It’s not often I find something so simple, to the point and genuinely effective as this. You sir are a legend!

Finally a person who knows and tells the others the solution.

I've been fighting this problem for years. I always thought the wiper spring tension was just too tight, but was never able to find any way to adjust that. I'm going to try this when I get a chance. I'm sure it'll work, makes sense.

The older KZfaq’s will know this, a real common problem in decades past, good to see the solution again 👍

I was constantly irritated by this noise which was embarrassing as well. I followed your guidance step by step and wow it worked. Heartiest thanks to you!!❤

Great video. Simple and right to the point. No 2-3 minute intro and no click bait. The audio at the beginning and end sounded like it had an echo. Like maybe you're in a hard room, meaning no curtains, furniture etc. to absorb sound and prevent echoes. Not that big of a deal since the important part was outside and the audio was fine. Thanks again.

Most practical and money saving video. I was using too much water thinking dryness was the issue. Also thought of replacement. I started small and in less than 5 minutes and at the third try, I got it perfect. Now my wipers work silky smooth and I could barely hear them. Kudos.

This has been driving me nuts for years! No one could tell me WHY. Didn’t matter if I had brand new wipers. Thank you!!

You're a genius! Your fix worked GREAT and my wife is now a much more happy camper.

At 63 I want to thank you for explaining and showing how to fix this. Thank You for teaching an old man something new. Now can you tell me how to keep bird crap off my windshield?

I've been having those issues on my 1992 roadmaster for years never thought of that simple adjustment! I went and applied the technique and whala it worked!! Thank you

You are my hero. Have a car less than 2 years old, just replaced the wipers, and yet still hear chatter. Going inspect the angle of the wipers handle.

Worked like a charm. It addition to bending the arm rotationally (like in this video), I then had to bend the arm so the wiper itself had more tension on the glass (so the wiper doesn’t have a gap). Thanks!

Thanks man. You deserve a billion clicks for that useful video.

That is a really good and useful tip I have owned quite a few cars in the past where this wipe a noise has been a problem and even on my current car, I suffered that horrible noise now, since seeing your video I’ve been out and made the adjustment and it is perfect, thank you very much and good luck with all your future videos.😊

thank you so much, my wipers have been doing this for 2 years and with the rainy season starting again in the north west i was dreading dealing with it again. i did exactly what you did in the video and it’s fixed.

I had an oil change yesterday and asked for new wipers, too. They chatter like mad, but so did the old ones. I can't wait to try your suggestion! Makes perfect sense and you demonstrated it so clearly!

I had a collision and this issue cropped up, you saved me a ton of headaches man ❤

Thank you so much. I've been suffering a whole year after my windshield got replaced and the dudes didn't assemble the wipers arms back correctly. Tried every esoterics including graphite grease, silicone, changing wipes a few times trying to fix that, I'd never figure on my own it's so simple took only a few minutes, such a relief! 😊Greetings from Russia!

Thank you for this! I will be able to do this and I'm so excited to stop the noise and finally get a clean sweep. It's been years. LOL Great video, no flashing images, annoying music, and you didn't yell at me. BRILLIANT!

Thanks! Concise and to the point! I've never understood the actual cause; always thought it was the blades. Was just getting ready to replace them, again, so thank you!

thanks for the tip i have just done mine, there are a few other videos of this but yours was straight to the point and no labourious explanations on why, how and where and when etc. thanks again

So many years having to do one quick on / off wipe to avoid thus chatter, going to fix it today , thank you

Thank you for sharing this tip sir. Your presentation is excellent and right to the point without annoying music and other gimmicks. Keep up the good work. Blessings to you.

Instant sub, straight to the point, no annoying music, no long winded explanation

This is the best video on KZfaq about how to correct the wiper jutter problem. Adjusting the arm so that it is perpendicular to the windshield is critical. Took me 30 seconds problem resolved. Good job on video.❤

I was just noticing this chatter tonight for the first time. Will fix it tomorrow. Thank you for producing this KZfaq.

Sweet, this tells me a great deal about other windshield wiper problems also. Great clear practical video! You did an awesome job showing and explaining and it’s Much Appreciated 👍

Just fixed my squeaking wipers with your tips. Thanks for sharing!

Oh man I put up with my annoying wipers for 7 years, and it was a 5min fix ?! They are now working flawlessly, no sound at all, no lines, nothing, just a perfect clean and smooth window. I was even thinking my window can be warped or something... Thank you!

Finally someone who has a great solution. I've cleaned, waxed, degreased, and otherwise just wasted time. Thanks for finally giving real advice. Much appreciated.

Thank you man. I could have gone crazy jumping windshield wipers on a car. I took my pliers and didn't think it would help. But it helped. Thanks again. You saved me from going crazy in the rain in the car.

This solved years of frustration with my wipers! And made it much safer to drive. Can't thank you enough!!

Great video, Thank you for getting right to the point. Without the music. Best I’ve seen so far 👍🏻

What a great video. Well done mate. Greetings from the UK and thanks for solving this issue which has plagued me for years.

This video is just what I needed. Been wondering for years how this happens. So simple

Had new blades, had mechanics look at our wipers, polished the window, nothing has worked until I came across you video. Thank you, driving in the rain is now a pleasure. Well done

Old wipers were quiet but my replacements were skipping bad, thanks this helped.

That's how you do it. Short, precise and clear!

I did what you showed to do and it worked great. We have a 2011 Hunydai Elantra and this car has had this problem ever since we bought it, real bad . I am very satisfied with it now, thanks for telling and showing us how to solve this issue.

Thank you for keeping it simple and to the point. 🤘

Cool fix! The main cause of blade skipping, chattering is that wiper blades stop in a loaded position, having wiped the glass then stopped. In the loaded position heat and time change the angle of the blade especially in summer heat.. One of my cars has a lifted stopped position, reducing the load on the blade, preventing the chatter, extending the blade life. Solution, change the blades. Twisting the arm is a temporary fix, chatter will return after some time passes, and then new blades will not be properly aligned.

Good fix! While you are at it clean the wiper blade. Dirt, bug guts... dry on the blade and cause streaking. Use a cloth and rubbing alcohol to clean the rubber wiper. Put the alcohol on the cloth and wipe the rubber blade. You will be amazed at the dirt that comes off. Repeat until it is clean. Your blades will last much longer!

I had this problem and fixed it in 2 minutes. There was also a spot were one of the wipers would not touch and I bent it forwards and now it's perfect. My cars arms aren't even the same as yours, but the solution is. Thank you!

😳 Wow! Thank you. I’ll admit, I would not have thought of this. Brilliant mate.👍

Saved to favorites! In case I need to look at it again after some time or share it with friends. Big thanks! I am ultra sound-sensitive so this sound is a no-go for me. You literally improved my driver's quality of life 😃

I tried, cleaning them, replacing them,buying "high performance " wipers...nothing worked! Until now. Thank you Thank you thank you!!!!! Seriously almost sold my car because I couldn't take that god awful noise anymore but thaks to you it's quiet as can be now!

Many thanks for solving a decades old problem which I have experienced many times on different vehicles. 👍👍

Nice video. This is what KZfaq is for. People either showing some talent or others giving out useful information like this. Well done, cheers.👍

Can agree that it works, i cleaned windshield, changed wiper blades, tried bending wiper arm down so it would create more pressure, nothing helped. But your fix took me a minute and noise is gone. Thanks man.

Great video, I would suggest that for some people they may want to place a layer or two of towels accross windshield so when they drop the wrenches off the wiper arm it don't chip or crack the window. haha

Great video, thanks so much. It never occurred to me that this might be the issue. I'd assumed the spring tension was too strong and was pressing the wiper blade against the glass too hard, though I guess that can be another factor in some instances.

A very simple fix that some 'experts' miss. Great help. My Toyota Aurion near new blades chatter for this very reason. Not need for super exy replacements or glass polish. But I do recommend Rain X on the screen every 2-3 months

I had been taught when I first started driving in the early 80's, gently lower the wipers after cleaning don't just flop them or snap them down hard to prevent this. Sure there must be other factors that can cause it though. Nice concise piece.

A concise, useful video! You don't see that every day. You earned my subscription.

Good tutorial, I bet the winshield wiperblade companies doesn't appreciate videos like these. Thank you for the video!!💯

Been annoyed af by this for years on a couple of my cars. They all have the same brand wipers and I was wondering why my work van doesn't do it but the others do. Thanks so much for this. What a life saver!

Retention springs (where fitted) tension also play a significant role in achieving a smoother swipe.

Brilliant! Short, clear, to the point, and it works! Nice to see a good video like this one, particularly when it helps to solve a problem.

What a brilliant and simple fix for a long held annoying problem. Thank you for keeping it simple and watchable - props.

Did this after watching your vid'. Thanks, worked a treat and you're right 40 seconds tops. Brilliant!

Fantastic tip, after watching this video, I went straight to my toolbox and did exactly what you explained, it fix the annoying squeak. Thank you.

Good tip. I've swapped wipers from one car to another, and they chatter on both cars. The other pair that was swapped does not. So it CAN be the wipers. Both pairs were fairly new, and the chattering pair was 2x more expensive. Swapped from Toyota Highlander to Ford f150. I've been meaning to check the wiper arms, but just haven't gotten around to it. You've inspired me. Thanks.

The answer I’ve been searching for. Thank you

Working on cars for 22+ years, and this is news for me ❤😂

been working on vehicles mainly for friends and family most of my life always learning and picking up tips thanks for the video

I think the wiper blade itself can be part of the problem. On my car, a new wiper blade doesn't do that, but after baking in the sun for a few months in a flexed position, it tends to be less flexible, and will start making that annoying chatter. I'm a bit nervous about bending the arm on my fairly new car, but I think your solution could help extend the life of the wiper blade.

My sadistic minds tells me I might miss my chatter 😂 good video thanks 👍
