Clarifying Windshield Wiper Post
After looking at some of the replys I received from my earlier post it became clear that I had failed to make clear what I was trying to say.
I was not promoting teflon wiper blades
What I was trying to say was that I found out that there are wiper blades with a differant profile. Some blades set higher off the windshield than others (Put side by side some are more bowed where they connect to the wiper arm). The blade that has the lowest profile fits closer to the windshield and clears the hood cowl when you park them after use. The higher blades will hit the hood cowl and hang up when you park them. The higher profile blade also tends to chatter wereas the lower profile blade does not chatter. (I am guessing it has something to do with the angle of the wiper arm in relationship to the windshield)
I am posting this in hopes it will help others who have complained of wiper chatter etc.
