1. My windshield wipers are always in one of three states:
State 1) squeaking, but functional
State 2) Not squeaking, and streaking on the window. Failure to move water effectively
State 3) Blade is shifting around, causing metal to contact the window with a hard 'skreeeeeeee skreeeeeee' sound


So I can't help you.

Good luck though.

3. Rainex
It coats the windshield with a lubricant to deflect the rain. If you run into heavier rain and need to use the windshield wipers, the Rainex will stop that squeaking for the most part.
