thanks, but the thread is about my experience with new replacement blades

 

So??? Did you get rid of the noise??? If so, what worked? We are on the edge of our seats.

 

Actually, I did nothing (one of my areas of expertise).
There was a fine mist yesterday and the wipers didn't make a noise (I assumed a dryer window is more prone to creating a noise).
In any event, until we have a heavier rain, I'll assume that the noise was due to the fact that the blades were brand new (who know, maybe there was a fine coating that caused the noise and has since rubbed off? don't know)

 

In Toyota's instruction pamphlet on changing wiper blades it states that some glass cleaners such as Rain-X may cause the blades to 'chatter' across the windshield. I've used this brand and it seems to make no difference.
