Noisy Wipers?

Seems like my wipers make an awful amount of noise. Very pronounced clunking on upswing. Anyone else having this issue? Just wanted to see if this is a MB thing or I should have it looked at.

Mine did the same. Had the dealer look at it and he elected to change the rubber on the blades. This corrected the problem.

I had the same problem. The dealer replaced the wiper blades at no charge.

Had the problem with the drivers side missing a spot, dealer changed both sides, drivers side perfect now passenger side clicks on down swing, upon close insepection the plastic tip of the rubber blade is alost touching the glass!
