2011 Sport, mine does too every now and then. Glad I'm not the only one!

It IS bothersome, but I usually end up forgetting about it lol. I keep forgetting to mention it to my service advisor at Honda, just to see if they've had any other complaints regarding this.

As long as my wipers keep working as they should, and the vibrating doesn't start to create a rattle or buzz, I'm not gonna fret about it.

Wondering if any y'all did any DIY to it or even have the problem to begin with.

Thanks!

Haha mine does too, it idles smooth and quiet as a Lexus but I see that right side wider arm trembling like its scared.

It is an optical illusion due to the curve of the windshield and heat rising from the cowl.

Yeah, the right wiper on my '09 base does vibrate. Just noticed this a few months ago. (Never really paid attention prior to that.)

Glad you asked about it because without a thread like this to hear from other owners, I might never have known that it isn't that unusual.

It sometimes vibrates while engine is idling. Don't know what the trigger is. Most of the time it doesn't though.

My 2013 MT did not vibrate at all, even idling as low as 5-600rpm.

It vibrates now that all the mounts are finally filled up. giving just the tiniest bit of throttle stops it vibrating.

Yes, only at idle. Goes away if you bring the revs up a tiny bit.

Funny timing as I just noticed the same thing happening on my '12 Fit a few weeks ago. It looked as if the smaller passenger side blade was going to vibrate itself off the car. Don't know what caused it to do that but after putting the blades through a wind shield wash it fortunately stopped.
