Tore up a brand new pair if Rain-X wiper blades the other day heading up the Jersey turnpike in a rainstorm. It seems above 65mph the blades decided to chatter across the windshield marking up my windshield with the black rubber and making vision terrible. Replaced the drivers side with a Bosch blade, had more rain, chattered and skipped across the windshield again above 65. Has anybody tried any kind of blade with a spoiler? I'm assuming this is happening because of the top notch aerodynamics we all love in our Hummers...LOL
I saw these on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/One-16-100-Silicone-Wiper-Blade-with-Spoiler_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33657QQihZ006QQitemZ160026551810QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

Yup..that's what I would do get one with the spoiler...

And what the hell are you doing driving that fast in a rain storm anyway??

Make sure your window is really, really clean. Chattering wipers can leave behind rubber residue which causes the next set to chatter.

Or, move to Arizona where I use my wipers once every few months. Wipers usually die from dry rot before they wear out from use.

65mph on the NJTP is c r a w l i n g......

The Bosch blades are awful on any vehicle, IMHO. I made the same mistake with my work van. The next set on my duece will be the double blades. I had them on a few vehicles and they seem to work well.

They totally coated both sides with rubber..it was ugly.. took some elbow grease to get it all off. .. installed a set with dual blades from pep boys..now just gotta wait for a rainy day
Ariziona's nice...been there once before......but my H2 would get dusty with no rain, right?

I run Bosch wipers on both of my vehicles and I love them. BTW, we've had 1.9 inches of rain since Jan. 07 in So. Cal. (that's right, one point nine). We need it BAD.
