Wiper blades juddering

[GavC]

Hi all,

A pet peeve I've got with my 182 is that the wiper blades never have quiet and smooth motion across the screen. The drivers side blade judders a fair bit even in the heaviest of rain.

I've ensured the wiper assembly is correctly seated on its spindle, thoroughly cleaned the glass, tried high quality blades and products like rain-x.

Is this a common nuisance for other owners?

Have you put new blades on?

also, I found that when I rushed my Gtec windscreen application, it made the wipers stutter unless it was absolutely pissing down.

I Clayed and panel wiped the windscreen and did it again (properly without rushing!) and that was over a year ago and it’s been perfect since.
