QUESTION: Its coming from the wiper against the glass

Answer
There are 2 things you can do -

First, treat the glass with a product called Rain-X, it puts a polished surface on the glass, so the wiper will not skip or squeak. If you do not have Rain-X, then use car wax on the glass.

Secondly, treat the rubber with a lubricant, such as WD40 or silicone oil. Spray on a cloth first, then wipe it in the rubber part of the blade.

Hope this helps -
