Hi, does anyone else have problems with their windscreen wipers stuttering? They work fine in continuous mode, so I'm sure it's nothing to do with the blades, but in intermittent mode they stutter / jitter on the return sweep. Is there an easy fix?

Beam blades

Clean the window with a powdered cleanser{Bonamie}.
Clean the window with Windex
Install a "Beam" type wiper blade{RainX Lattitude or Bosch Icon}
They are OE on most new platform cars and do not have individual pressure points, but use a leafspring type metal beam strip enclosed in rubber that outperforms standard metal blades in the summer and the winter. They will not chatter as much.

Yes - it sounded like the relay was "chattering" when using the single-shot operation of wipers on my car when I first got it. The dealer decided the fault was with the electrics in the wiper motor (not the relay strangely enough) - motor was replaced and cured it.

Lubricate the pivots - I had this problem and the dealer lubricated the pivot points, problem solved.
