Prestone washer fluid & wiper chatter?

[mclasser]

I topped off the washer fluid in all 3 cars using Prestone and now I notice the wipers skip when going across the windshield. Only variable here is the Prestone, since all was fine before.

Has anybody else noticed this after using Prestone? This was the one I picked up from Walmart.

It's kinda late in the season to be using it and never used it. It's probably drying out the rubber. I recommend 303 on the wipers but you could try Armor All if you have it.

That's the only fluid I've used for at least 15 years and I've never had that skipping you describe. I use Trico wipers and change them every 2 years.
