OK, this problem has gone from slightly cute, to annoying, to absolutely maddening. Anytime the rear brakes get slightly wet, be it from a driveway car wash, wet weather, or in today's case snow flurries, the rear brakes SQUEAL like mad when braking in reverse until they completely dry.
I can see the rear pads are ATE brand which makes me surmise they are not original equipment. Anyone else had this problem with this or other brands of pads? New rear pads are in my future when the weather warms but I don't want to replace these with something that squeals just as bad.
Thanks.
