windshield wipers

Have you tried bending the arms towards the glass?

Yeah, I've tried just about everything. I was just looking at some Bosch blades that are supposed to be more aerodynamic. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I've always used Anco.

Did the problem just start? If so, have you done anything to change the aerodynamics to the front of the truck? New grille guard, bug deflector, different size wheels/tires. If it is a brand new problem and the aerodynamcis haven't changed, maybe you need new springs on the arms.

It's the winter blades. Because of the boots on them to keep ice out no air goes through so the lift at speed. The lift speed varies vehicle to vehicle due to the aero of that vehicle.

I got winter blades on both my vehicles ( 04 elantra and a 93 silverado ) The blades don't lift on the car but on the truck anything over 100 km/h and they only clear half the windshield.

Figured it might be the arms and the springs are tired. Phoned a local dealer here in Halifax and was quoted $45 for each arm but he was feeling good and would give them to me for $28 each. I figure on a warm dry day I'll head down to the local building centre, take the arm off and wark through the store to the hardware section and see if there are any springs that will fit to make it tight again.

Hoping this works and it can save me at least $50
