I wanted to ask how other peoples rain wipers sound, if it's loud or quiet.
This is a new 2023 GX with currently 3,000 miles on it. Finally had a chance to drive it in serious rain in Los Angeles this past weekend. While using my wipers in the rain, I notice a weird "scraping" sound at full extension and when it returns to the bottom. I haven't noticed this sound before in the rain so I started to look at my windshield more closely.
I have cleaned the windshield with all kinds of cleaners but I notice there is almost an "imprint" of "scuffing" on the windshield that causes some glazing and this weird sound. When I used wiper fluid, the sound goes away for a little bit and is super quiet, which I think would be the default for a luxury car. It then comes back and is a loud enough sound that it's bothering me and can be dangerous when it starts to glaze over.
I have attached some pics and below is a youtube playlist link so you can see how it sounds with just rain, dry, or using wiper fluid.
