Toyota Camry: Windshield wiper noise

You might try using some water and vinegar and give the winshield a good
cleaning. That will allow the blades to travel nicely and might remove the
noise.

Hi Car Guy,
Thanks for your prompt response.
What you suggested seem to be a temporary fix.
I think the problem is the spring attached to the wiper is probably holding
too much pressure against the windshield. Is there any adjustment that can
reduce the pressure?

The blades that you use, are they the Bosch brand or another one. I have
heard from my local Toyota dealer that some brands cause a variety of noises
and the Bosch brand seem to be dead quiet. I have a set of Bosch blades
that came with my 2002 Camry and they are great after close to 50,000 km of
driving.

You didnt say how old your car is. 1st the whole assembly is better,
but on older cars the whole arm should be replaced as the spring
creating pressure has worn. Meaning wiper -assembly- and arm. But try
cleaning wiper and window with alcohol first.
A New razor blade can also be run across the glass, if residue comes
off continue.
Also for cars left out in tree covered areas or older cars, 3 rs,
ZUD a kitchen cleanser works great as it is recomended on the
instructions for glass. I use it on antiques that have trashed glass,
with great results.
Windsheilds absorb pollutants over time , Acids etch, pollution
permeates . Especialy from car washes, polymer fake wax crap that
screws up a windshield [ Window ]
A little work, a few new components, and an old windshield will make
you see better this winter and be Alot safer.
