Default It wont make that noise if it's raining out :-p

I'm a big fan of Rain X. Any speed over 50 mph and wipers are turned off. Love the stuff, I put it on all the windows.

Default Rub them with rubbing alcohol....you'll be amazed by how much grease comes off them.

I've been doing this for over a year on the same set of blades. Still work like new.

Default hard water deposits can be removed with vinegar, which can cause streaking/grabbing.

i clean my windshield with straight white vinegar before i wash my car. then apply rain-x after.

Default 2nd. Clay your windshield. I do all of my windows... Also clean the blades or...

Maybe you just need new wipers.
