Noisy windshield wipers Hey guys, Im new to the f-body scene and still not used to the quirks of these cars. My wiper arms are noisy. I changed out the blades and holders, still does it. It sounds like its coming from underneath the arms. Can anyone chime in on this?? 
TIA
TIA
If not, I don't have any remedies.

Sorry, I should of been more specific. Its makes almost like a clunking noise at the peak and the lowest part of the swipe. When it goes up, then right when it goes back down, that is when the sound happens. Heres another question, is your wipers silent besides the sometime rubbing of the wiper when the wiper is dry? Thanks

No, they're not. You're hearing the blade flip position. A set of double blades will clear that up for you. The plastic is shorter and stiffer, and doesn't flop around as much. The reason you hear it more is that there is so much surface area (windshield glass) it can't help but amplify the sound.
