I was driving on the highway the other day and it was raining pretty damn hard. I turned my front wipers from the normal speed to the highest speed.

I noticed that the wipers were making a knocking sound at the furthest point of the sweep. Then I turned it back to normal speed and the sound went away. The knocking turned out to be the wipers hitting the frame of the front windshield at the top left corner.

Does this happen to anyone else's ride? Should I take it in and get it checked?

I have the same thing... this could be normal

just do it yourself, its easy, open the hood, un-bolt it at the base, then reposition to your liking, and then bolt it back on... 5 minutes

I had the same problem. It's warranty work. The dealer rectified the problem by adjusting the position of the wiper arm.

I noticed this same problem today! In my case after 3-4 sweeps driver side wiper start hitting the top left corner of the windshield! Can somebody provide the fix with the pictures!

At this age you most likely you have bushing(s) worn in your wiper linkage. Easy and cheap enough to replace both linkage arms and not worry about it further; a relatively common problem. Here are the part numbers (for an 03, assuming its the same):

76540-S0K-A01 ROD UNIT A (LH)
76550-S0K-A01 ROD UNIT B (LH)
