2013 S wiper creak noise fix

[nativespinner]

For the last several months I had an intermittent noise/creak when using the wipers. I thought the wiper linkage mounting bolts might need to be tightened so the previous day I took the rear frunk cover off and inspected the 3 bolts. They seemed to be tight so I took a can of Blaster silicone spray lube and put a small amount on the rubber mount bushings at all three locations and gave a small tighten with a 9mm socket/wrench. The next day it rained and I turned on the wipers expecting a creak and viola, no more creak! I did find a youtube video of the wiper mechanism replacement that helped with the bolt locations. My car has 162k miles and it's almost 10 years old with a 7/13 manufacturing date.
