Why Does the Wiper Keep Making Noise?
1 Answers
Here are the possible reasons why a car wiper keeps making noise: 1. The first scenario is noise caused by friction between the wiper and the windshield, which may be due to the wiper being aged or having dust and debris. In this case, gently sand the wiper with fine sandpaper and wipe it clean with a cloth. For severely dry wipers, applying some lubricating oil can help. 2. The second scenario is improper adjustment of the wiper frame, where the wiper is too tight, causing excessive friction. Adjust the wiper frame to make it slightly looser. 3. The third scenario is an issue with the assembly of the wiper frame, leading to excessive effective travel of the wiper arm, which causes noise when it contacts the windshield frame during its return stroke. Adjust the wiper arm to reduce the effective travel. 4. The fourth scenario is rust or aging of the wiper frame itself, which produces noise. Solutions include cleaning and removing rust, applying anti-rust paint, or replacing the wiper entirely if it is too severely aged to be repaired.
