Windshield Wiper Judder after new glass

[Deuce16GMCs]

Had anyone had their wipers start juddering after they had their windshield replaced?

Replaced the windshield with only 3000 miles on it at Safelite.

It legitimately a GM OEM windshield, which was required because of the Super Cruise.

The wipers only have 3000 miles on them, so can't imagine they need replacing.

But it'll wipe fine for the first few wipes and slowly start to judder and jump really bad.

Any thoughts?

I wonder if the wiper arms are not quite aligned with the new windshield. Does it do it in both swipe directions, or justone direction? Does it happen during dain, or when using washer fluid?

Both directions.

When I use the washer fluid, it works for the first few swipes, then it starts juddering from small jumps to big jumps.

During rain it judders nonstop unless on high speed.

try wiping the blade rubber with rubbing alcohol and a cloth, if that does not fix it then get new blades

The install looks new. I can't find anything misaligned or incorrect. Not even a clip missing.

Odd the wipers would be bad at 3k miles.

But I'll swap them.

It's an OEM windshield, I just wonder if they had some type of film or something on them.

Give the glass a deep clean - it could just have residue on it from the factory.

I've had wiper blades that shuttered/skipped brand new out of the package. I think it is your blades

Thanks. I'm swapping them today and hopefully it'll rain this weekend.

I can't imagine Safelite did anything to damage the wiper motor or the OEM glass is defective somehow.

Just odd the wipers on the Tahoe had 3000 miles on them and didn't judder for the first 3000 miles even with a crack in the windshield.

Am I the only one here that is wondering the origin of the word "judder"? This must be a regional thing? I have never heard this term.

Shutter, judder, chatter, clatter, jumping...what would you call it in you parts of the woods?
