my first quess is that when the glass is dry, the friction caused by the dry glass and the blade actually slows the blade down enough so that it doesn't skip, skip, skip. kinda like bouncing from one spot to another. when your windshield is wet; however, the friction is less and the wiper motor makes the blade move faster. if the tension on the blade is too high, the blade will stick, release, stick, release, etc. thus causing a "Squeak" or sputter. May want to try loosening up the tension spring just a hair, then spray your sheld with the hose and try it until the blades work just right. You may also just need new blades. should be about $40 for a good complete set.

Would tube socks put on the windshield wipers actually freeze to the windshield themselves?
I use to put cardboard on the glass under the wipers, leaving the wipers laying on the cardboard to hold it in place. Unless it is raining, the cardboard does not get soggy, and does not freeze to the windshield and the wipers do not freeze to the cardboard. I lived in PA for 38 years so I have dealt with ice and snow. Then I wised up and moved here to Arizona. 70 degrees today..................sorry to tell you! You could also put a sheet of plastic between the wipers and windshield. You have to start with a dry windshield and wipers so the plastic or cardboard does not freeze to either.

Why would the wipers come on without being turned on when it rains or the car gets wet?
Many newer cars have automatic windshield wipers. These work with a rain sensor, usually mounted near the rear view mirror. The sensor uses infrared light to sense moisture- droplets scatter light, and the when enough light is scattered, the sensor decides that it's raining. It then signals for the wipers to come on. Dirt can also fool the sensor into turning the wipers on.
