squeaky wipers

Anyone have a cure for squeaky wipers?
Just put brand new blades on (Porsche OEM) - seemed fine for a few days, but then the noise started again. Primarily at the extremes of the swipe - when changes direction, but a little skipping across the main part of the glass as well.

I think you may need to thoroughly clean your windshield, there is something on it that is causing your squeek. You can't see it, but if you run a wet finger over the area, you will probably feel it.

Try using an alcohol with a poly scrub pad (like you use for dishes) on the glass only. Dry it completely and then either wax the glass or use a rain repellant like Rain-X.

One other step: put some alcohol on a paper towel and clean the rubber blades by pinching them between thumb and forefinger and running the length of the blade. Do this to ensure the contamination is not on the rubber.
