Why do my windscreen wipers make an awful noise! ?

Just bought a second hand 1999 Primera and the wiper on the drivers side makes an awfully loud sqeak/screech!

I've changed the wiper blade three times (new ones), the glass appears totally clean (no grease or smears). No apparent flaw in the screen either.

Please tell me how to sort this. MikeWhy do my windscreen wipers make an awful noise! ?
this is caused by the blade not turning over at the end of a sweep. You need to twist the wiper arm slightly with an adjustable spanner while supporting the arm with another adjustable to avoid putting strain on the wiper motor rack.Why do my windscreen wipers make an awful noise! ?
Even if your windshield is clean, if it hasn't been maintained, then it still has microscopic nicks and scratches in it from dust, etc. in the wind hitting it repeatedly. Run your hand over the glass. If your hand sort of %26quot;clings%26quot; to the glass and you have a hard time moving your hand across it, then you need to use a product called %26quot;Rain-X,%26quot; or something similar.



Rain-X is silicone based, kind of like a wax for windshields. It'll make your glass super-smooth by filling in all the imperfections. It should take away the noise your wiper is making, and, the rain will roll right off of your windshield.Why do my windscreen wipers make an awful noise! ?
get a new stanly knife blade and check the screen surface for ''bits''....failing that try lifting up the blades and trying it,,,if it still makes a noise change the whole wiper unit inc lincages from a breakers yard car.Why do my windscreen wipers make an awful noise! ?
