Wiper rant?

When using delay mode, does the wiper's sweep sort of stutter right near the bottom of the sweep? ie.. almost down in the rest position?

When the wipers are on constant, it doesn't studder at all, it's smooth all the way though.

Anyone else have this?

Sent mine to speech therapy, they don't stutter at all now.

Have you tried: RainX on your windshield and/or wiping the blades with an alcohol wipe? Or are you thinking this is possibly a wiper-motor stutter problem, not a wiper problem...?

stutter wipers are a sign they need to be replaced. They've dried out and lost its elasticity,

bosch icons work great for me, and RAINX treatment on the windows reduces the need to use the wipers.

I change mine every couple of months. I hate a slapping wiper. $40 down the drain every time

I've gone with the Valeos (2 4 1) at Tirerack the last few years. But am giving the Goodyears a try. Costco $8 each.
