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

Important!
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.
