The best way to prevent wipers dragging, bouncing (chattering) and thus scratching the windshield is preventative maintenance. This situation usually occurs when the wipers are worn because the rubber blade becomes stiff and fights the glass rather than working with it. Many vehicle owners replace their wiper blades every 6 months before they become poor - normally they replace them in late winter and fall. In 2008, Consumer Reports rated almost all wipers as "very good or excellent" when brand new. They also reported that all wipers substantially dropped in performance after 3 months and only one wiper was rated better than "Good" at 6 months. Many conclude from this that they should be replaced every 6 months. See below for more tips on replacing windshield wiper blades.

Another preventative measure would be the use of glass treatment which effectively lubercates the glass. It not only helps the rubber slide over the glass, it can prevent debris from bonding to the glass as much, so debris comes off easier.
