1 - Yes, chatter problem.
2 - Yes, fastest speed not really fast enough.

I have the funky frameless (and expensive) blades-so far they seem good

Default I found these cheap refills in Germany. No chatter, work better, and last much longer than OEM.

Default Strange thing happened to my wipers tonight

Its 35 and raining in Boston. I'm on the highway with my wipers on. They are sticking a bit then the passenger side wiper sticks and flips over, wiper blade itself up and metal part of the arm now on the glass (the blade did not come off the arm). I had to stop and flip it back again. Happended 2 more times on the way home. Anyone else experience this?

Default There was a TSB for this (at least on the S4)

and it should be the same for an allroad. It involved twisting the wiper arm torsionally to alter the angle at which the blade hit the windshield. I wish the TSB database was still available.
