My windshield wipers are slapping

Why is this? Could it be the wiper motor?

take off the wiper blade arm and move it over a tooth or two. will solve ur problem. simple 10mm or 12mm bolt that holds it down

Replace the arms under the Cowl. it's easy/snap off snap on. Order them onine for about $50 bucks. This happens to all Honda products at some point.

^^^what makes those arms easy to pop off is the pivot bushing that should hold it in place..(white dome shaped retainer).. these wear out over time due to constant movement while the wipers are on..
