Damn that noise is exactly what mine is doing, started yesterday for the first time.
Oiling it cant be the answer, anyone else fixed it permanently?

Lol - mine hasnt been fixed as they say it has to be making that noise when they look at it and it only performs for me

They have seen the video evidence though!!

Believe me when your sitting in traffic that noise really winds you up even with the music up loud you can still hear it lol

i had it on my old one

This problem occured this Saturday on my car. Went to the dealer today, and it actually made the sound when they looked at it. They will try and fix it when it goes in for servicing in a fortnight. And it really is an annoying sound. You have to have the stereo on or drive at at least 60-80 km/h to silence it

lol yep very annoying - I had it last three days running, my car goes in tomorrow and I bet any money it doesnt do it

Nick7 · 26th June 2007, 11:10

Heard it twice so far... it's really croaking sound, and quite annoying

slowhand · 3rd July 2007, 21:09

what a joke I e-mailed Honda customer services they say no body has reported this before and are not aware of a problem with the wipers, trouble is I am never near the dealer when the noise starts, it has become a joke now, if I am passing my local dealer I put the wipers on when I get near just in case they are noisy, no matter what the weather is like, no luck yet they never do it.
I will catch them one day, I will be so shocked I will probably crash the car.

Yes snap - I have played the phone video of mine to the dealer

They are looking at them whilst it is in for service hopefully with all this rain this week they will have got to have heard it for once!!

It didn't make any sound when it was in for service. But they checked it after they installed the hft. They said to install the hft, they have to remove the wiper arms. Maybe it just was something loose in the arm's mounting that got fixed when reattached.

Topcat · 12th July 2007, 16:16

The dealership called me today to say they think they have solved the problem.

Apparently it is the linkage mechanism (or something) so they are ordering the new parts.

Hurrah no more noise

I hope !!!!!!!

Hi All

On the way to work today the wipers decide to make the same noise as topcats. So another trip was made to the dealers this afternoon. I told the that it was the same as Topcats and sure enough they fixed there and then. The value of this site is really benficial.

I just hope you didnt call me Topcat and used my real name

Charley Farley · 25th September 2007, 12:54

Hi Topcat

Yes, I did use your real name. They were surprised that I knew you. Anyway as soon as I said you had the problem they knew which mechanic had fixed yours.

footdoc · 30th October 2007, 21:56

just got my new 1.8ES last Sunday, it was raining all day, and I too notices the constant noise when the wipers are on "Auto" mode. Highly annoying noise, especially when you can hear it inside the car. My C Class Merc also had moisture sensative wipers, but you never heard a sound - that is not to say the Merc was problem free - it had other problems; thats why i thought i would change brands. Any thoughts on this matter i.e. the noise on the civic???

Mine has been fine since I had the linkage part changed no noise at all

Well not from the windscreen wipers anyway

Topcat · 19th November 2007, 15:41

Well what a surprise the noise is back and on top of that the wipers are making a knocking sound as they life upwards - unbelievable

basegreen · 19th November 2007, 21:35

Tighten up the wee nut & bolt that holds the mat retainer onto the seat runner. That's what fixed my mat about 6000 miles ago with no further problem.

What a freaking shock ... we talk to each other... damn maybe they are catchin on.....

I thought the wiper noise was just mine but when it goes in for a week for the screen/roof/respray they can look at that too.......

And no i dont want a bleeding Jazz.....

cnicolini · 20th November 2007, 07:03

I
My car was doing it yesterday too, this is a common problem as I had it on my Peugeot too. This sound appears when the wipers have been on for a while, the cure was to spray liquid grease on the motor arms and joints. You are correct in saying that its not a fix, and it will reappear.
