My caravan has outside to inside wipers that have squeaked since i bought it 5 years ago. I have tried 3 different types of wipers, all supposed to be the best but to no avail. They squeak going inward and outward.

    Operate the wipers get them to stop with the wiper blade half way through the travel from fully parked to all the way in the direction of its travel. When the blade is half way up the screen bend the wiper arm using a crescent wrench or pliers so that the blade is at 90 degrees to the windscreen.

    Thank you Patrick, I am ready to try anything, any special point on the wiper arm I should apply the pressure?

    Patrick you are the bomb and my windshield wiper insanity is healed! Must be why they call you the master! Thank you very much, everyone around here just sold me different wipers. lol
