They are about a month old. I thought they might settle down but they haven't. Thanks.

Make sure the windscreen is very clean., also that the wipers are the right type and fit.I had one blade that used to screech the whole time, and found out that the one that didn't screech was fitted differently to the other.Some modifications later (had to cut down the width of the plastic fitting a bit) they were both fitted the same, and it's much better now.The blades need to be held in tightly, or they flop from side to side and screech.

Sorry, sometimes I give my windscreen and wiper blades a good scrub when I'm at the servo as this keeps them clean. Plus all of the above I guess, good luck

If they olny squeak in one direction then you can sometimes cure it by twisting the arm with a crescent so the blade is at a right abhge to the glass instead of leaning over. Just try a bit of trial and error till it's quiet in both directions.

Are you sure it is the blades! After changing blades on my Terrano squeak was finally tracked down to wiper shaft.

Get some Teflon or carbon wiper blades if you haven't already.

Thanks for all that. I noticed today that when the rain was a lot heavier they were ok. But when the rain is not so heavy they are quite bad. I really think it is the rubber on the glass. I will try tweaking them a bit with a couple of spanners. If that doesn't work I will get better blades. Thanks for your input. Cheers

Mine did that for a while & I found it was the carriers rather than the new blades. Drove me nuts for a while. Good luck.

I cured mine recently, after trying a few different blades I found that the arms weren't holding the blades tightly causing them to chatter, once new carrier arms were fitted they ran smooth and quiet
