squeaky windshield wipers

The wipers on my new-to-me 03 MCS squeak like crazy as they slide across the windshield. Do others have this problem? The blades are in fine condition, so before I go replacing them, I'm wondering if anyone knows if this will fix the problem.

Try cleaning your windshield really well. If that doesn't help then you should use Rain-X.
