    The wipers chatter (or skip/stutter) on *wet* windshield. These are the OEM
    blades, 1 yr old.

    Dirty windshield (looks clean)?
    Worn blades (after only a year)?
    Spring tension on wiper arms?

    All ideas welcome.

    OEM are good, and relatively cheap. They are a year old, so just replace
    them.

    Consumer Reports says blades only last 6 months. Who knew?

    really? I had my maxima for 2 years and never changed teh blades, never
    needed to either.

  5. I bought new OEM blades for my '93 Accord last March and removed them in
    November (to put on winter blades). 8 months and no chatter when I removed
    them. I think they'll be good for a few more years.
