Bailey151 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 problem? We've had some rain the last few days & using my windshield wipers I've discovered an issue. The faster I go the less effective they become. They're fine up to about 55-60mph, @ 65 they chatter a bit, over that & they start to chatter quite a bit. This makes them pretty useless, the more they chatter the less water they remove = not much help, especially @ zero dark thirty while commuting (traffic) My initial guess is air is getting under the wipers & lifting them off the windshield. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey151 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 No problem here A) Glad to hear you finally got yours (little patience myself) B) guess it's just me given you've had the same weather (not really rain, not dry either) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermans Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I haven't had an issue. The tension may be adjustable, not sure on the 2013. I've had this problem with my 2010 and just bent the wiper arm (very little) to add some pressure against the windshield. Did this a couple of years ago and no problems since.

hermans Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 OK, I just had to go to the dealer to pick up a part for my 2010. I asked the Service Manager about the windshield wipers. He said if the car sat in Mexico in the lot with the sun beating down on the car they could have become warped and won't fit flush with the windshield. He said to take the car to the dealer and they will replace the wipers for free. He said he has had to do three cars so far. They were all on the stop ship and customers complained of the very same thing you are. He added....don't wait to long to get them replaced. Hope this works for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them replaced and you should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey151 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks folks, that's what I'll do - hopefully that fixes the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
