Windshield wipers that sound like two angry elephants...

I'm willing to consider the rubber conditioner in future and see how it is, thanks.

Rain X Et al....
I think with most cars this may be true. I had an BMW X5 and I put Rain X on that "Truck" and I had no issues with that when it came to rain. I also have a 94 325i that sits in the Garage and only has about 65k miles on it, not I have put Rain X on that, and once again....no issues.
But for some reason, with my 1999 911, I have cleaned these Windows, and then put on new layers of Rain X on, and I was very excited because I thought my rain issues were over? Nope! So I thought maybe I put too little on, so I put a little more on just to make sure? And once again, I still have a Window issue! I have tried four different types of wipers and I am coming to terms that I will have to just hide away my 911 when ever it looks like it may Rain?
Ok, now for my 2 cents, and since I studied Philosophy in college and not Engineering take it as you may? But I am just curious if it has to do with the "New" slope on the new windshields? (Of course this wouldn't explain some of the issues with the older versions of the 911) So the reality of that means nothing and toss's that right out the window.
At this point, I am just lost? I have never had issues like this with any car that that I have ever owned? So I am sure like the rest of the people here, I am just looking for some kind of an idea so that I can do what I can to try and make my car a bit safer? It is a bit frustrating when you get caught in one of these storms and you cannot see beyond the headlights.
As with anyone here, I am open to any kind of idea? I would really like to see some ideas shared here, because I am sure we all know that this is a frustrating subject. Or at least maybe get some answers to some of these questions, so that I will be able to see what type of road or what may or may not be in front of me.
Just my 2 cents.....

Just picked up a set if you still need new blades. They are on special.
