I have just gotten done Dynamatting my rear license plate, than I discovered that my rear wiper blade rattles against the car body(not the arm). I applied some lite preasure from the blade pushing against the car and it went away.
I want to keep my rear wiper!
I'm gonna try and find some small spring to do this perm. with but has anyone dealt with this before?

I tried putting some weather gasket foam to push the blade down, but it didn't take all of the rattle away. I than dynamatted the entire inside arm of the wiper blade. Still didn't get what I wanted....
I now have a 1/2 pound wiper blade arm! LOL

I had a similar problem with my 2002 Toyota Highlander's rear wiper blade. I have my woofers right next to door to the rear hatch, so the entire back is flexing like crazy, even with the entire car covered with dynamat extreme. I fixed my issue by buying one of those "sport" dual wiper blades that you find at Autozone or Checker auto parts. This actually added more weight, and with 2 blades it had helped quiet down the slapping noise a lot from when the blade would "bump" out every time the bass hits. It may be something you might want to look into. Hope this info helps.

I was thinking about getting a new wiper blade, but I didn't want to get rid of the one I have now since nothing is wrong with it.
