The wipers on my car have been screeching since I bought it about three years ago. I put new rubbers on them a while back, but that didn't fix it. I don't drive in the rain frequently enough for it to be a major bother, but yesterday, I was near a Supercheap Auto, so I went and spent the money on some good quality replacement blades.

They work smoothly and perfectly. After three years of screeching, a silent wipe is almost unfathomably satisfying.

You may have missed my other comment about that:

I'll take being able to see at night in the rain over a light on the dashboard any day.

And for me, replacing a washer pump and/or level sensor occasionally is not a big deal. I find the trade-off for the extra safety to be well worth it.

    Use Aquapel instead, it works 100x better, and doesn’t ruin your washer system.
