I have a 2001 Infiniti I30 - same as Nissan Maxima. When my wipers go across the windshield, they squeal like crazy. And when I put my power windows down, the same happens. It is very loud and embarrassing. How do I fix it?

Replace the wipers and clean the windshield with a good window degreaser. The one that foams on the windshiled.

Get a can of WD-40 and spray a SMALLl amount on the fore and aft window channels while the window is down. Work it a little and the noise will go away.
