I've recently got a new second hand Corsa, and I'm really enjoying driving it...except for the unbearable squeaky windscreen wipers - especially when it's raining!!
I had this problem on a previous car too, and replaced the windscreen wipers, but it still didn't help. Having checked the condition of my current wipers...there doesn't seem to be any damage or defect....
I'm guessing he's telling you to clean the windscreen with a potato. I thought this was however a trick to help stop your windscreen from freezing overnight during the frosty season.
Are they genuine spares? I stopped buying copies just to save a few pence because of the problems they caused. I note that you had the same problem on a previous car.

I thought that'd confuse a few people! I meant for the OP to try rubbing half a potato along the wiper blade. Old wives' tale I know, but it must persist for a reason.
It could, of course, be down to the brand of screenwash being used. I've had squeaky wiper blades before which have been cured by changing to a different make of additive.
