Alterra rough wiper problem - still unsolved

[Gumusut_Amige]

Hi uncle Nick, Sportivo and Humanhorde,

Thanks for your inputs, though honestly I am getting confused with the different approaches.

Let me reflect on this a bit...

I followed uncle Nick's advice though it did not fix my problem straight away. I just kept of slightly bending the arm in all directions until I get to the one with the least juddering. I left it at that and as time went by, the juddering faded. It still does now, but something quite tolerable.

try mo yung Bosch "smooth wipe" wiperblades. have had this same problem sa crosswind and tried so many ways to solve the problem. it's a matter of having a clean windshield (w/c can be done by buffing and fine grit rubbing compound) and getting the right type of rubber type for the wiper. yung "tropicalized rubber" ng bosch is not that good kase parang madaling tumigas yung blade nya kaya mabilis din mag "shudder". I think getting the softer type of rubber blades does it a better job but since it is softer, it is also less durable, since that softness of the rubber is achieved by having less crosslink density and more plasticizers added into the rubber, hence less weathering resistance. so kung gagamit ka ng softer wiper blades, be ready to either replace your wipers more frequently or tyagain mo na lang na lagi mo itatas yung wiper blades mo when you park under the sun. also, avoid parking under trees for prolonged periods. the tree sap that might drip on your windshield makes your wiper shudder too.

Hi all,

My problem has been solved.

I bought NWB banana type wiper blades from Concorde in SM Megamall. It is now wiping smoothly for several weeks now.
