I just purchased a new 2015 and the wipers chatter something fierce. I cleaned the windshield with Windex AND Invisible Glass. Bought new https://www.f150forum.com/# wipers and it is bout 50% better but NOT right. I notice that the water rolls up the winshield while at speed quite easily like it was coated with something, possibly Rain X or another polymer type substance. Scary part is if it was coated and Invisible glass scrubbing did not remove it I don,t know what will!
Any body else have this problem?

I had the exact same problem on my 15. I clay bared the windshield and followed it up with glass cleaner and the problem was solved. I took about 10 minutes to do the job. I used hot water in a spray bottle and clay bar.

Factory warranty covers wiper blades for the 12/12 "adjustments" period. I'd take it in and tell them they chatter, they'll replace.

My problem was not in the blades but something on the windshield. I noticed this the first time I turned the wipers on. No need to make a trip to the dealer when it can be fixed easily IMHO.

Clay Bar is a good idea. I have used a good glass polish that completely removes anything on the glass. I think it was from Zaino.

Thanks guys, I agree it is not the wiper..............well mostly not the wiper. I bought Bosch wipers (good wipers) and it eliminated only 50% of the prob like I said. Last thing I would do is get another pair of the OEM wipers since before I even scrubbed the winshield the Bosch wipers proved to be at least 50% better.
Thanks for all the input on clay bar, window polish and the permatex cleaner. I am sure they will all take care of it.

My guess would be the dealer used some type of wash and wax that has left a film on the windshield. I would at least call them to let them know of the issue and ask what they used. With that you can hopefully determine how best to remove it.

Vinegar and newspaper also work.

Two coats of Rain X and the chattering goes away and you can see better in heavy rain.

And as with my experience you will become a slave to rainX due to the fact when it wears you will have to recoat to stop smear and chatter...............No thanks!
