I think his was improperly installed from day one/upon delivery...

Besides, if it was something on my glass I'm sure it would have affected the new wipers and they would have also performed as poorly as the OEM's did.... Since I replaced the front blades approx 7 months ago I haven't had a problem with chattering or shuddering.. Same results with the rear blade which I replaced several months back. .
Ditto w/the sign on the dash.

I always make sure to do the wipers when washing and always use a car shampoo that adds oils/wax to the paint which also helps keep my inserts clean and somewhat lubed. I never had an issue with them and I'm at 2yrs/11k plus in brutal sun/heat/salt air of where I live in SE FL. No matter, glad yours are now running smooth and quiet
