Not sure? I was thinking it was a vibration type of noise. Without using the washing fluid and just turning on the wipers, you can hear the sound interrupted a little bit. That’s as far as my investigations have gone at this point. I’d like to see if others get the same response as I did.

That’s making me think it’s either a leaking windshield seal, or maybe the trim around the windshield is causing it. I might try putting a strip of painters masking tape where the windshield meets the body, see if that changes anything.

I’ll throw some tape in my truck and give that a try. I want to isolate the cause a bit more before I approach the dealership. Sometimes they can make things worse.
