How annoying for you, I would take it to the dealer and ask them to resolve the issue as it must be part of the PDI (if you trust them).

Picked up my new R yesterday and my wipers are doing exactly the same today. :sad:  Will try cleaning the rubbers and the screen tomorrow...

I've found my brand new 'Match' doing this today too, think I'll give the blades & windscreen a bloody good clean.

Surely there's an issue here, spec of wipers?

Mine are perfect.

Mine are fine as well, never had any problems.
I just replaced the first set, after two years, with a new set of Bosch ones and they are completely silent.

I would have thought that if the window is squeaky clean, the rubber gets more grip and the worse the judder would be.

I gave mines a good clean with vinegar diluted water then buffed the screen with one scrunched up newspaper. Cleaned the blades with vinegar. Then I cleaned again with everyday glass cleaner.

So far they are smooth as can be! I let then go with the scooshers for a while and didn't judder once.

Looks as though VW are putting something on the screen thats causing the rubber to stick!

Ps, I hosed the car down tonight and noticed there was some form of soapy water mixture. Possibly a protection film thats been sprayed all over?
