Windscreen wiper judder
 
Guys, wifes bug windscreen wipers make a terrible shuddering action which does not clean the screen properly plus the noise drives her farken nuts. Whats the solution to this, I tightened up the nuts the arms mount to which has not helped, the blades are 6 months old so I would have thought ok?
Cheers

Definitely sounds like the blades are f*cked.

Does the car get parked outside often? If so, the blades deteriorate very quickly.

Are they rubber or silicon blades? The silicon ones don't last 6 months usually.

Try new blades & apply some RainX.

Before you rush out any buy new blades..... clean the current blades with some metho and/or Windex and/or Spray & Wipe (or similar). Then clean your windscreen glass with the same then finish off the widscreen glass by wetting it with water and drying it off with scrunched up newspaper.
If you use some of these "wash & polish" carwash solutions, they can build up a film on the glass and blades.

If the above fails, then buy new blades...

rain-x on the windscreen & rain-x on your wiper blades, re-apply everytime you wash your car and your silicon blades will last forever :)
