cure for chattering wipers? It ain't your car

The problem seems to be that one of the wiper blades doesn't turn and therefore not pulled in the direction of motion. It's being pushed and it chatters. In 3 9000s, they have all done this. Evidently additional friction on a dry surface makes the blade turn, but on a slicker surface, they don't. I think that it's simply a bad design of the wiper arm; it's too rigid at the point where the wiper blade assembly attaches. But, I don't know how to make it looser. OR, it could be that the wiper blade is not wide enough to have more flexibility to "flip". I was in a rain storm with new wiper blades and they were actually depositing rubber at the end of the sweep, and chattering.
It's hard to believe the Swedes can't make a decent wiper assembly.
