Most likely, this indicates the following: the brushes have ceased to be elastic.

It's better not to risk it and not try to "fix" the wipers. You just need to replace them.

Windscreen wipers started making noise

The device should operate quite quietly.

If a loud noise occurs when the wipers are operating, it is possible that they were installed incorrectly.

"Reconfiguring" the windshield wipers did not solve the problem? Then buy new ones!

Windscreen wipers don't clean the glass, they spread dirt

Windshield wipers should make the surface clean.

This device does not clean the glass, but simply distributes the existing dirt, then the wipers need to be replaced.

For reference

A windshield wiper is a device used to remove raindrops (moisture) and dirt from the windshield and lighting devices (cars, other vehicles).
