Windshield wiper noise...need advice
 
My wipers squeak like crazy...They actually do a great job of whisking away any rain so I wasn't sure if replacing them was the answer...anyone ever have this problem or a suggestion to fix?

Thanks,
Matt

Clay bar your windshield.

RainX helps. Also use Audi wiper fluid that has some sort of rail repellent added in

I had this issue as well and replaced the wiper blades and it fixed the squeaking.

If you do replace the wipers, I'd try the Bosch ICON Wiper Blade. I just installed a set on the Mini and they are exceptional.

Otherwise the OEM also work well...

Just bought these after reading some good reviews, hope they do the trick. Thanks for the recommendation.

The ones that you have ordered are the OEM (which I've been using) and which do work very well.

The alternative that I mentioned is the following. I have no experience with them on the 997 but they work very well on the Mini and they have an interesting design:

Yeah I saw them but they seem to be more geared towards to winter/snow conditions which I wouldn't need. ​​​​​​​
