Honda Accord windshield wipers over-sweep causing banging against lower panel on Honda Accord

Some Honda Accord owners report experiencing issues with windshield wipers over-sweeping, which causes them to bang against the lower panel below the windshield. This problem may stem from the wipers making too wide of a sweep, leading to the banging noise. Additionally, a worn-out socket could allow for over travel and wiper slap at the bottom of the stroke, resulting in the wipers hitting the lower panel. To resolve these issues, owners are advised to check for any worn-out components in the wiper arms, inspect the wiper switch for damage or malfunction, and ensure the wiper motor is functioning correctly. Addressing these potential causes can help troubleshoot and effectively resolve the wiper issues.
