Default 82 Vette-Stuttering Wipers

Hi,

I have a 82 vette-I changed the wiper motor twice and also the blades. The window was throughly cleaned. I have this nagging problem where both wipers stutter consistently during their back and forth sweep. I drive the car in the car. Any thoughts? Thanks

Usually chattering wipers is caused by:
1) the blade being at an angle
2) blade not secure on the wiper arm or loose wiper arm
3) too much wiper arm pressure against windshield

My '78 does the same thing. How do you reduce the pressure on the windshield ?

some cars have an extra hole or two where the spring hooks into...we dont. Another way to change the pressure would be bending the arm, but with the tight clearence between the hood and windshield I wouldnt recomend it with these cars.
