Squeak from windshield wiper..how do i

Everytime I use my wipers, there is awful squeaking noise. I have tried to clean the blades, and still the sqeaking continues. They are fairly new blades, about 2 months old. Any suggestions?

Side note: The wiper doesnt seem secure when it wipes. How would I tighten so it's on there firm.

You cant search, but you have me..... the stock wiper blades are 26" and 17". Just get the PIAA wiper blade REFILLS. It will fit ours just fine..... I'm your library.

it's not a matter of size.. b/c i got the correct size.. it's just the noise.. this also happened with my stock blades..

Im assuming it's b/c the wiper is not secure.

if you have time... get some windex and a blade, you know the one inch box cutters.... anyway... apply windex and use a blade to scrap at the window... now, when you are using the blade, hold it at a angle, not straight up... use this method and wipe after done with one area, then go onto another... this will take care of some of the window must...

hope that helps
