stock never worked for me, the independent parts freeze up in cold weather, and then i can't see at all! if the wiper is bouncing on the return stroke, my solution was to tweak the wiper arm with an adjustable wrench.

every once in a while i clay bar my windshield and wipe it down with rubbing alcohol and get it nice and clean. makes a big difference in how well your wipers work.

The OP can also check brake pads, bearings and bushes as you never know.. unusual vibration through components may lead to clattering wipers.

I decided to try out the bosch icon as they're well reviewed. I didn't see any rain-x at crappytire. I didn't even think about inserts for the OEM blade. I forgot that was a thing. Where do you get them |

Probably a big reason my OE blades lasted 18 months. |

I just use cheap ANCO blades. They usually last me 2-3 years on whatever car I put them on before they either come apart or the rubber loses its flex. I think the key is keeping the blades clean, and not blasting them over an icy windshield ( if that's a thing where you live).
