I've found putting glass cleaner in the washer bottle helps too.
Hi Ladies and Gents
Background:
My wipers, mainly the drivers side, continually shuddered. I tried most things with no success. So after replacing the Aeroblades and having the same shuddering issue after 3 months I went down this path. Now after some 12 months, I am happy to report, here is my success.
Also I wash my car every week and make sure I clean the wiper blades each time.
Steps:
1 - Ensure your wiper blades are pliable and soft - if not replace them
2 - Scrub your windscreen with a green scourer and (Jif, Ajax, Gumption)
3 - Rinse and dry the screen
4 - Scrub your wiper blades as in point 2
5 - Clay Bar your windscreen twice
6 - Apply window polish twice - I used Autoglym Window Polish
As stated above, my windscreen wipers no longer have any shuddering problems. Hope this helps others.
Cheers
Mark

I used a rain repellent coating on my glass and also a shot of Rain-X washer addistive. In this way, it refreshers the coating whenever I wash and wipe.

Thanks for the tips, I had no idea you could get window polish.
