I thought it was my old stock wipers, so I bought some new Silblade wipers and they still shake and studder.

persists. Also, the windshield needs to be wet for wipers to work, if you're using too high a speed for the amount of water falling, they will chatter.

If only when moving, then it's probably an airflow problem - iirc, there's some sort of 'wing' on the driver's side wiper to help keep it pushed against the glass - maybe it's missing, or at some weird angle? I've never really looked at the setup that closely, so I could be way off here.

1. clean windshield.
2. claybar it(some people think this is better than Rain-X)
3. apply Rain-X(I actually use Aquapel, it last longer and has none of the haze issues that some people get w/Rain-X)
That's it. I also have the teflon blades. I actually don't even use my wipers that much, but when I do there's zero chatter and zero streaking.
