Hello there,
I have a completely standard 2005 (55) 206 1.4 16v Verve 3dr and my problem is that the passenger (nearside) wiper blade judders when in use with it raining. I replaced the wiper blades with Bosch wiper blades about 2 months ago but it has only started happening.
It doesn't sound like a huge problem but it is annoying and I like my car to be perfect.
Any help would be greatly received and thank you so much.

Good clean of the screen would be a start.
Clean as in clay and a polish with some good glass polish.
If that fails to solve it you may have to a new wiper arm.

Swap blades over to see if the problem follows the blade

Thank you guys. I will try both of those things, I was wondering if it could be the fact that they are not Peugeot wiper blades.
Thank you once again

wiper blades start to wear surprisingly quickly if not used, especially during the summer. I have herd that they go a bit hard and soaking them in a bit of vinegar helps to free them up

Mine does this, but not on every wipe of the screen, it's a random thing. I washed the care recently and it's been raining constantly here ever since so the blades aren't dried up! It doesn't really bother me as it usually fully clears the screen on the next go. Only if it started happening on every attempt would I get the blades or the arm replaced, hopefully that never happens!

Thank you It tends to do it more in like drizzle but even then, the wipers are on intermittent or off and I just flick them down. I might just change the blades and see what happens.
Thank you
