What Causes Wiper Blade Chattering?
1 Answers
Wiper blade chattering can be caused by: 1. Vibration due to issues with the wiper blade itself: Wiper blades are made of rubber and can harden or deteriorate over time, especially in winter. The solution is to replace the wiper blades with new ones. 2. Vibration caused by the wiper motor: If the motor lacks sufficient power, it may indicate the end of its lifespan. It is recommended to have a detailed inspection at a professional repair shop. 3. Foreign objects between the wiper blade and windshield causing vibration: When the wiper is activated, a sharp friction noise may occur between the blade and windshield. Check and clean any debris from the wiper blade or underneath it. 4. Wear and tear in the wiper linkage bushing causing vibration: Over time, the wiper linkage mechanism can age, the spring tension in the wiper arm may weaken, and the bushing can wear out or even detach. Inspect the wiper arm and linkage bushing for wear.
