I had my wipers replaced about 4 months after I bought my car because the blades were streaking water and it was very difficult to se if it was raining at night. I bought the car brand new. But now these new wipers that I have had for less then a year are making a terrible squeaking noise after about 1 minute of continuous usage even in heavy rain. Could just replacing the blades be sufficient or is there a deeper problem? Just a note that it does not rain too frequently where I am and have not even used the wipers that much. Thanks.

Tip of the day...
Rub some white vinegar on the wiper blades. This will stop screeching and smearing!

What I do is clean the windows with windex after I wash the car. I've been doing it for a year now and it works very well.
