windshield wiper noise
#1

I searched thinking maybe this was a common problem since I've changed the wipers and still have the issue but maybe I'm crazy. Nearly everytime I use the wipers (except for right at 50mph) they seem to drag across the windshield and make that loud friction noise leaving small lines across the window as it 'skips'. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just my ride? I tried adjust the wipers from summer/winter mode but that didn't help any.
