So it was with some degree of trepidation that we used the wipers for the first time on our new 500. Ours don't do it at all - yes they do bounce a little when the screen is only slightly wet, probably the same as most cars,
Correction
Just got back from an 80km trip in the 500 and it rained on and off for a lot of if. Some medium, some drizzle and some just road spray.
Wipers were on low speed or intermittent - didn't need high speed
Wipers worked perfectly - no "bouncing" or skipping, no problem at all.
Car has only been washed with "wash'n wax" with no special attention to the windscreen, apart from chamois
If memory is correct, the wiper blades on the Fiat are the same as those on our Skoda Yeti and they work perfectly.
Checked and they are identical - no idea what brand they are - meaning there is no brand on them, just a square release button but I guess that is pretty standard anyway
Anyway, both DO work as expected, for what it is worth
