Wiper noise

Hello all,
I have now owned my 06 Titan for 6 months (love it) however there is one issue I can't seem to get rid of. I travel to Navy reserve duty once a month and I have noticed at highway speeds 75-80 my wipers are rattling against the windshield. I have tried several brands with no results. Even stupped down and brought it to the dealer( nothing wrong). Any one have this issue?

I have an '05 and I haven't noticed this problem.

Do you have any kind of nose wing or bra on your hood? Have you looked to see if your wipers come to their park position and is it the same as other Titans? I ask this on the possibility the wiper arm is a tooth or so mis-positioned on the drive shaft.

You aren't trapped into using only Nissan brand wipers and there are several on the market that have a wind deflector mounted on them to use the air pressure to push it more tightly to the windshield. This would most likely cure your problem.

Here is one link to PIAA blades that might fix your problem:

Let us know what you end up doing please.

Rainx. It's the windshield or the arm because I've tried 4 different types of wipers and they all make noise and so did the Frontier I had before. My Dodge on the other hand are quiet so it's not the blade.

Thanx for the input
Yes I do have a bug deflector on the front and somone told me today that was the problem because it changes the airflow? Im going to try your site and see about those blade ( cause it is just plain noisy). I tried the rainex with no results.

No what I mean is that with your windshield rainXed at 70 mph you don't need the wipers...............
