Just purchased an SE with a 5 speed. I'm already really disappointed with the service from Nissan, but I'll leave that for another day. My question is this, do your windshield wipers "sqeak" at the top and bottom of their cycle? My squeak at both the top and bottom. Any thoughts on how to fix??

Thanks for the help.

Clean the glass (sounds like you caught something oily/sticky on the windshield). Put rubbing alcohol on a cottonball, wipe under blades.

I never tried this, but if you clean the wiper blades with something oily, it may allow them to slide across better. Maybe silicone tire spray celaner will help.....or maybe even cooking oil?
