Windshield wipers
 
Just wondering if anyone is also having the same thing happening

When my fit is in idle, does the wiper handle for the smaller wiper shake? I don't know if its just my car or not. Just wondering if anyone else is having that same problem.

Mine does the same thing. I was sitting at the bank drive up when I noticed it. At first I thought it must be really windy out!! Something in the engine must cause it to shake.

Mole..This doesnt happen while the wipers are in use. Its when they are stationary and the car is sitting at idle..

oh. sorry... yesterday being semi-rainy and all.

i do not have that problem you have then. check the hinges of the wiper perhaps?

This feature is mentioned in the manual. :cool:

Check the wiper bolt.

nope... take it to the dealer if you've got time. you payed for it

i notice a slight vibration on fwy speeds of the smaller wiper. it's not the wiper itself, but the arm...as long as it doesn't fly off i dont care.

Never noticed any shaking with either wipers at idle or at speed. Unless you're in the eye of a hurricane there must be something loose.

I read these wipers are designed to degrade easily upon a collission with a pedestrian, hence the vibration on the arm of the small wiper. Mine does it too, but not 100% of the time. I checked both assemblies and they are properly installed and tight. I won't be letting the dealer touch my car for the vibrating wiper because short of a redesign, what fix could they offer?
