03CR-V Windshield Wipers Noise

Hi
just got my new baby less than a week.. I hv noticed that the wipers are
making noise when applied..(it's not the high pitch squeaky noise.) It seems
like the blades are "slugghish" during wiping... and it's making the "ba,
ba, ba" kind of noise when wiping..

When I apply the windshield fluids, the noise seems to go away and the
wipers do a wonderful job.. however, when no fluid, under regular rain...the
noise resumes..

is this unusual? or just the rubber of the blades are just too new/hard? I
think i shud take the car back to the dealer for a quick look..

Try a small bottle (or a single treatment wipette) of Rain Away and see
if using it solves the problem. It provides some kind of polymer coating
to the glass, and it's bound to do something to the way your blades
sound. My wife's Odyssey has noisy blades too, but she doesn't seem to
care.

Curly- thks for yr tips.. The noise is quite annoying.. plus I can see the
blades' wiping motion from left to right, right to left.. Instead of wiping
smoothly from left to right ...it's like
"wipe/stucked/wipe/stucked/wipe/stucked.."

I wonder if the wipers are too tight (the knob on the windshield wipers arm)
and therefore causing the blades to over-press against the glass..
