At the risk of insulting the obvious, the fix for fixing those chattering blades is to place the jaws of a cresent wrench on the flat part of the wiper arm and 'adjust' the blade so that it is perpendicular to the glass. This gives the blade the choice (free-will for wipers!) of flipping either direction depending on the sweep.
