Not the usual noise or shudder from the blades but a squeek from the motor or related mech that moves the wipers,and in the current driving conditions its driving(no pun intended)me mad.

p.s. checked for mice already

Any advice as to curing it or is it a trip to the stealers

Regards Tweeky

liberal use WD40 in and around the area the squeak is coming from.....don't get it on the blades though.

If your car is in warranty go to the dealer, if not WD40 on the arms and linkage underneath or take it out and de-rust/grease it at a guess.
