I’m sorry to hear about your windshield wipers, those noises can definitely be annoying while you’re driving.
Unfortunately, noisy wipers are an inevitable part of car ownership, just like buying
car insurance
and keeping up with oil changes. But don’t worry—here are four easy ways to remedy the pesky noisy rubbing in windshield wipers:
  • Clean the blades: You should be cleaning your windshield wiper blades once a month to get rid of any buildup and keep them running smoothly (and quietly!).
  • Wipe down the windshield: Windshield wipers can get noisy if the windshield itself is dirty. Use a glass cleaner to clean your windshield—some offer wax properties, which means any debris will stick to the wax instead of the windshield!
  • Replace the blades: If there’s a problem with your windshield wipers, one of the easiest ways to fix it is to buy new blades.
  • Clean your car: A clean car means less dirt, including in your windshield wiper system. Keeping your car clean can have plenty of benefits!
