wiper blades

[jwetering]

I've had a 996 now for 10 years and the wipers have never worked well. they squeak and chatter and frankly do a loud job of wiping the window..... which is kind of their only function.

To make matters worse... I live in one of the wettest cities in the world so driving the car on nice days only means I would rarely drive it.

Anyone out there find a better wiper than oem?

No, but I have not looked since mine work fine. Are you buying new oe blades? The passenger side is longer & curved to conform to the windshield. Make sure glass is clean & Rain-X works wonders too.

Porshe engineers for the autobon so if not wiping great something has deteareated.

I've seen marked improvements with the RainX Latitude Water Repellency blades. They are the beam type and not the conventional type. If you read up, the conventional blades only offer a limited amount of flex. So no matter what blade you buy, they may not fit very well with the windshield of the car.
