Possible causes include excessive tension in the wiper arm spring or severe wear on the wiper blade friction surface. Here are relevant explanations: 1. Windshield Wipers: Wipers, also known as windshield wipers or windscreen wipers, are devices used to sweep away raindrops and dust adhering to a vehicle's windshield, thereby improving driver visibility and enhancing driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all automobiles worldwide are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also feature wipers. 2. Maintenance Notes: Wipers rely on friction between rubber strips and the windshield to remove impurities. If the wiper rubber strips accumulate dirt or small particles like sand, they can generate friction noise against the glass. This issue can be resolved simply by cleaning debris from the wiper rubber strips.
