Ouch, then I dunno then! o.O.

Maybe new wiper blades. The stock ones were pretty cruddy, I upgraded to BOSCH ones and they wiped uber clean.

I thought the best blades are OEM ones, all those BOSCH ones are hyped up...and doesn't perform as well...

Very observent... I noticed it is off place also but I did not think of the reverse steering. It sound like an engineering /manufacturing challenge.

I drove in the rain today and I TOO notice that the wipper is skipping as it reaches the upmost left top position. Let me know what your dealer tells you.

I have too much wiper noise. I had the car for 7 months. Seems the wiper blade are dry out. I have installed Piaa Super silicone blade - quite, smooth blade action. Size 24” & 16”. Works great.

I have the same problem with my fit. I live in oregon where it seems to rain 9 months out of the year. The dealer replaced my wipers and the passenger side still chatters....just not violently anymore. I'm going to go to an auto parts store and find aftermarket blades. Hopefully that works like other people have posted.

^ Worked for mine. I ended up having to flip both, but some folks only had one flipped.

I have had the same problem since I first got my FIT, it is really annoying because not only does it skip on the passenger side, but it also makes a horrible scraping sound.

Is there anything I can do?

Did the dealer help anyone with the same problem?

Have you tried this fix? If not, try it or have the dealer do it for you and see if it solves your problem.

I notied that it works better pushing lever up than down with interval settings. Seems like the faster the sweep, the less skipping. However, pushing it manually gets quite tedious.
