    i would like to know how many have a problem with the windshield wipers?

    i have a problem when im driving in the rain intermittantly when the passenger side wiper is coming back down itll make a clunking sound.. its so annoying/loud that ive been using my wipers only when its necessary which is dangerous x.x + i have to have the music playing at least on volume 14 (i have the nav system and fender premium system) to avoid hearing it for the most part

    right before itll go completely down itll pop and make the clunking sound, and sometimes when i dont use the wipers for awhile, itll randomly go away then start back up. yes i have checked to see if the wiper blade is on correctly and it is, its not loose or anything. im wondering if there is something wrong with the motor or wiper arm since its only with the passenger side.

    ive had my jetta sel premium since the end of febuary pretty much :/


    edit:

    and ive searched on this and the windshield wipers are on correctly.. which makes me not knowing what the possible cause is

    Most likely you'll need to have the P/S wiper arm adjusted...or do it yourself, it's not hard at all

    Ok so with doing this I could adjust so it won't hit every time correct?

    Yup.
    Just move the passenger side wiper up from the cowl a bit.
