Well, as Steve and other suggested, it was something under the cowl panel. Which, as they told me was very easy to remove 2 wipers, 3 bolts, 10 minutes max.

So, I got the cowl panel off and there is a nice little plastic sheild in there to protect the wiper motor(s) from the elements. It was VERY loose on the driver's side. I grabbed a couple of zip-strips and secured the loose end to the wiper motor, took it on a test drive, and? No more flapping noise!!

Hopefully it's okay to secure the sheild to the motor, I didn't see any moving parts to become snagged so it seemed fine. Let me know if that could pose a risk. Otherwise, Thanks Again! My list of problems is dwindling. Now to get to the weird Power Steering issue....
