Interestingly enough, it only scrapes when its actualy wet and raining. In the dry it is fine and has no noise =S

I have the same bloody problem!!! it only makes noise when its wet go figure... honda probaly only tested them when it was dry and not in the rain... so they probaly thought if it works in the dry it must work in the rain.....

I apply abit of silicon spray on them it cleared the noise up for a while

Yeh my installers recommended I get a can of silicon spray.. also does the trick for the electric windows.

talking about our civics' electric window problems... although i haven't had a jam myself, every time i get my civic back from service there are like huge grease trails on both the inside and outside of every front and back of every window! looks horrible... but my car has to go in for service again for another replacement part soon so i don't bother cleaning it heheh

I have the same problem too, got mine in Oct06. Does anyone have instruction how to swap the blades?

Thanks Chylld. I'll try now....

I tried the silicon spray and it seems to have worked :)

Does anyone know if it's uber bad for your car paint if a drop spilled onto the hood? Of course I wiped it off pretty quick but ... there may be residue ><

so in conclusion does swapping the blades to the other side fix the problem with them not wiping properly? or otherwise sillicon spray?

Anyone know if there are any cheaper blade refills available anywhere as I was quoted $40 for some genuine honda blades down here in canberra.

yeah mine does it as well but it just turns out that the blade gets dirty

give your blade a wipe down should be ok

lol It took me a while to figure it out myself by referring to the manual.

I've only replaced them, haven't actually swapped them around. From memory, wern't they different lengths?

eh just turn the music up?

its also good to put some detergent in the washer bottle and when it rains, just give it a good spray first then use the wipers.
