Drive side windscreen wiper issues

[MKI4EVA]

Anyone out there have issues with the drivers side windscreen wiper? i know it's sounds gay but we've had honda replace the worn blade twice now and even with the new one it's still making squeaking noises in heavy or light rain.

Seems to be happening at the top of the rotation.

Cheers.

yeh mine makes a loud squeak whenever its in use (both heavy and light rain). however im not sure which one it is. it could be both driver and passenger side.

hahhahah I'm sure the others will experience it sooner or later. we changed our blade twice and it still makes that annoying noise.

i might have to open it up and realign it somehwo.

this has been discussed before and many ppl complain abt this as well... cant find what thread is on though...

[MKI4EVA]

I've complained about the same thing on another thread aswell, just incase you couldn't find it, mine was fixed after a full repalcement set, and retensioned, I took it in 3 times for them to fix the wiper problem alone, anyway, it is now fixed, no more noise on dry or wet.

what do you mean by full replacement set?..........the whole wiper body itself? or just the insert? we're not too fussed as it's a lease car anyhow but interested to know.

Just the inserts ;) They replaced them the second time I took it in, but they've installed one of them up side down (seems directional) and the noise is even louder afterward, so for the third time, they turned the insert around and bam, quiet as a baby.

Btw, I do have some of those wiper washing liquid too.

I use Rain-X on my glass and in the washer. It does not squeak due to the silicone coating on the glass and rubber.

Some Singapore FDers fix theirs by changing the wiper arms to the '08 model's. Too big a spend in my opinion
