2k rattle, windshield wiper arm?

[twothousandgt]

hey guys. I have a fairly loud rattle at about 2- 2.5k and im fairly sure its coming from the spring in the drivers side wiper arm. has anyone had this???? and what could I do to fix it??

pull the wipers off and drive it for a few days to see.. its just a little tab that you pull out and slide em right off..

If it is coming from that area it is far more likely to be the cowl making the noise.

well yeah, but its weird like the second my wipers move it stops, and the sound doesnt happen when the wiper is in motion. and to be honest it kind of just sounds like a spring to me. im not sure how to secure it.. maybe it would be inexpensive to replace the arm or just the spring? I have no idea what to try..
