squeaky wipers

hi all, i have just replaced my wipers and im finding that they are making a sqeak type noise when reach the top of the windscreen and small noise as they land at the base again, i suspect they are hitting the top rubber seal around windscreen? anyway to stop the sqeaking as it can get annoying on consistant wiping mode.

Make sure your windshield is super clean. I routinely polish/clean mine with Bon Ami cleaning powder. You need to ONLY use the "Original 1886 Formula" though which is hard to find. As always, test in an inconspicuous area first. Clay baring might help a bit too.
