I found them a lot better. They are fitted as standard to my latest car
but I also retrofitted some to my previously 16 year old car.

I found that they stuck to the contour of the screen at all speeds much
better than the traditional type originally fitted to my old car. I had
to resort buying traditional blades with with an additional inbuilt
aerofoil to provide the pressure to keep the blade in contact with the
screen (2001 Ford Focus). Ford also fitted as standard a blade too short
to clear the whole screen and it was common to replace the blades with
something longer.

They are much less prone to it. They don't judder over the whole
sweep like traditional blades have a tendancy to do. Any judder,
which isn't often, is just after they change direction.

I find them much better than traditional wipers. They follow the
screen contours better particularly when it's freezing.

Never believe what you are told....

The main cause of judder and resulting noise is car washes both automatic and hand wash. They apply liquid wax in the final rinse which might make the rest of the car look nice and shiny for a while but buggers up the windscreen. It might be OK with a downpour but is notable in light rain when it just causes smear. My cars never go near a car wash and it's years since I experienced any judder.

I never wash mine. I do lend it to people who need to
borrow it and they usually do wash it, too embarrassed
to drive around in it so dirty. It lives under massive trees
and the birds love those trees and **** on the car.

One time after charging thru a very rough dirt road
and coming within an ace of getting bogged there
in the very light FWD car, the car was covered in mud
and I didn’t even bother to wash it then. One female
cop who pulled me over for a random breath test we
have much more often than you lot just grinned and
said that it must be the dirtiest car in town.

I have just realised that my car had a single piece wiper blade on the
rear window. That was swapped straight away as it squeaked did not clear
the window and was far too small. It was also possibly very old.

Probably true when the ink came off in your hands and the paper was of

absorbent. These days newspaper doesn't work nearly so well, if at all.
