squeaky wipers!

How do you solve this.It only happens when it's raining,and guess what.It's raining.Is there something I can do to make it stop,and still use the wipers.

I have new blades,and that didn't help,except now I can see

TIA
BC

Probably not the blades that are squeaking... look down into the cowl (through the slots) and you'll see the linkage from the wiper motor to the wiper arm shafts. A bit of spray lube on the pivot points ought to do the trick.

Shoot them with white lithium grease (the pivot points, not the blades). It won't rinse off with water.
