Windscreen wipers skipping
Hello guys,
I've got a 2006 Mazda 6 MPS and I've changed my windscreen wipers recently and it started skipping/shuddering after a few months.
I've tried everything under the sun from swapping wipers from another car, cleaning the windscreen with windex, put on rainx on the windscreen, cleaning the wiper blades, trying to change the angle of the wiper arms but nothing seems to work. The funny thing is some times it goes fine for a few rotations and others it skips. Help is appreciated.

You can claybar your window I have heard that too. But there are window polished that are more effective.
@Caffeine Fiend should have an opinion on this?

Gravity feed?

Damn. Dunno what it might be
So it's only when it's wet when it skips?

Don't think it's my wipers, done it with every set including Bosch aerotwins. Must have something on the glass
