PDT Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The Toyota dealership just serviced my LS430 and replaced the wiper blades. The blades use to be quite when working however, since they replaced them they squeak when they hit the top of the windshield area and start the return down and when they hit the downspot and start to go up again. They replaced the new blades however, I have the same problem. I know this is little issue however, it drives me nuts, especially when the old blades were completely silent. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How much water is on the windshield when you use the wipers? They can squeak if they aren't wet enough.. I just got some cheap ANCOs from Walmart a few months back and they're still silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSwine Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 On a somewhat related note, can someone tell me how to take the wiper blades OFF my 2000LS? I've replaced a ton of wiper blades over the years but these are a little different, and I apparently am not quite smart enough to figure it out.

jcrome04 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 They are kind of a pain. Stop the car with the wipers in the up position, then try to fandangle the wipers off. Took me a few tries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the original poster, I wonder if they bent your wiper arms when they replaced the blade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
