Default Wiper Concerns (and some questions)

Have any of you guys notice a knocking sound when you use your wipers? This happened to me yesterday as the snow is melting here and I went to turn on the wipers. At times, there would be a knocking sound similar to the sound of when you drop your wipers after lifting them up.

Anyone experience this yet?

And is the bolt pattern for the new IS 5x114.3? And what a good offset?

Hmm I say take them in to be checked out. I used mine the other night and I was just admiring how silky smooth they are compared to my last vehicle. Maybe the snow had messed something up on them?

Yeah, same here, it's been raining all week, and the wipers have been gliding away just fine.

On a different note, my car just developed a rattling sound in the dash area near the windshield whenever I go over a bump (eg. railroad track). Does anyone have the same experience?
