Wiper Goes clunk in the night...

Hello all,

I am sorry for all the posts but I feel like this Tahoe may be cursed. I changed my wiper blades the other day and they are awesome, old ones were like snow blades and just terrible.

I noticed today when I went to move the car into the garage that a loud clunking noise could be heard on the driver’s side. I got out and investigated, all was fine. I put pressure on the arm at the joint where it goes into the transmission, moved it around a little, wobbled it, and it made a similar noise. I got back in and it stopped for a few seconds, but then with each swipe clunked away. Do you think I have a bad transmission or wiper motor? Or could it be just in need of tightening. I hate to take it all apart and wait days on parts. What are your experiences?

Try opening and closing your back door glass, maybe its not fully latched shut. If you open your back glass while wipers are moving, it will return to the "home" down position so you can open it and not have the wiper still moving, may be your problem especially since it sounds like the issue just happened.

I will give this a shot. I have tried a couple of times, no luck. I even bought a motor "tested" from a junk yard. We shall see.
