It is possible that noises (rubbing, squeaking) may occur during the wiping process with the previous wiper blades.

Introduction - December 6, 2002, from the following VIN's:

While these blades are designed to reduce wiper noise, the build up of dirt, oil and diesel fuel on the windshield will contribute to any wiper blade making a noise. Make sure the windshield washer fluid used is adequate enough to remove these noise contributors.
