Best Answer

Dryness will cause the wipers to vibrate or jitter against the glass. If there is not enough moisture on the windshield (for example, a light sprinkle of rain) the wipers may move with a jerky motion.

Also, the wipers could be very old, and the wiping rubber/vinyl could have lost some of its softness and flexibility.

If you mean vibration when they are not active, the wind against the windshield could cause them to flutter if they are not properly seated.

A clean windshield and new wiper blades will usually cure the vibration.
