Noisy wiper motor

[Josh256]

Similar to this thread from a 2024 I have the noisy wiper motor. In my case: seems to be worst in the cold, also constant, but becomes intermittent else barely noticeable in warmer weather. This recording taken April/spring, in Toronto. Captures the noise at around half of what is was in Feb/March.

Update: Got the motor replaced under warranty and all is well at present.

I had numerous videos capturing the motor ranging from an obvious and abnormal groan to virtually silent and was able to get the motor replaced. I'm not convinced the problem's gone as it seems quite a few others are experiencing the same issue - eg, may return next winter on the replacement motor. Regardless, it's great not having to keep myself muted in conference calls on cold/wet days!
