+1!
RX gen II had wipers very silent and on RX gen III it's a bit more noisy but nothing annoying. However I've tried at a high speed (around 100mph) and wipers are not so good! They "tremble" (don't know wether it's the right word). They did not with my former RX 400h black edition version. Maybe an adjustment to do!?

yes, it is these little annoying niggles, along with the buzzing brake booster check valve problem I am having, that are putting a bit of a damper on me owning my 2012 RX 350, and unfortunately make me seriously reconsider buying lexus next time.

There is a clicking noise whenever the wiper moves to the bottom of the windshield. The click is pretty loud (it sounds like 'ta') and it's a little bit annoying. I don't think I ever heard a similar noise on other cars I have owned. Is that click normal to rx350 or did you have the same issue on yours? Any suggestion/advice will be appreciated.

I own a 2019 ES300H, and my car has the exact same problem. This problem started occuring last month, and it was three years and eight months since I bouht it as a new car. I know this thread is quite old, but I wanted to ask just in case: do you still have the problem, or is if fixed?
