Noisy Windscreen Wipers

[thickoeric]

My new front wipers are driving me nuts because they 're making the most dreadful scraunchy noises and I gather that vinegar usually cures this. Is it o.k. to put some in the windscreen water bottle and, if so, at what ratio?

[ayupduck]

try wiping the blades and the windscreen with neat washer bottle fluid first and wipe the windscreen with a cloth soaked in vinegar

[GRUMPY]

Vinager will not do any harm but first try wiping the blades with methalated spirts

[TWR]

Vinegar on the rubbers.

Many thanks, everyone. I'm off to try it right now.

New blades shouldn't make any noise, even on a dry windscreen. Have they been correctly fitted?
