Internittent Wiper Ring Rattle

Has anyone else noticed a rattle in the windshield wiper arm? Sounds like keys jingling together (very lightly), but turns out that when you sqeeze the internittent wiper ring it goes away. My TL now has just over 9000 miles, but this problem has been around since I bought it.

Anyone found a good fix for this problem?

I've never heard that problem before, but it sounds as if something is loose. Check with the service manager the next time you go to the dealer. He will have a good fix for the problem, I am sure.

Do you really want to know what intermittent means, or are you just nitpicking on the typo?

'Intermittent'.

I took it in to Acura a few months ago, but of course they could not detect the rattle on their test drive and did not fix anything. It has gotten slightly worse since then (at least more frequent), so I will take it back and give it another shot. I had hoped to find a DIY fix that someone has tried before - usually easier than taking it back to the dealer.

I have the same problem but not as loud and annnoying. I'll wait till it starts to get worse before I mention anything to the service crew. I have 8k miles on my TL if you were wondering.
