Default Wipers constantly chattering

I just replaced my wipers two weeks ago with a new set of Bosch Icon's and immediately they started to chatter when it was raining out. I can't seem to have wipers not chatter no matter how new they are. Any suggestions to try and prevent this?

How many miles on that windshield? It could likely be pitted from normal use.

Have you EVER used Rain-X? You'll have to use acetone to clean the glass. Then get some Aquapel (use once for 6 months+) Won't mess with the wipers either.

Yes, the rain-x washer fluid for the summer and then winter.

What blades have done this. I switched back to Motorcraft to solve problems. Could also lube the arms, if they are getting tight this can happen.

Those blades and rain x do not work together. That’s the issue.
