Windshield Wiper Arms and Blades

[bluwtr49]

We're getting ready to head out for our summer sojourn and one of the items is to improve the wipers.

The wipers have a tendency to lift off the windshield while driving at speed and in a bad storm with heavy wind they can lift off completely and just sort of stir the air....very annoying. They work perfect when sitting still.

I have new correct blades and even spring thing to enhance downward force but the problem persists.

What are the best arms and blades that one can buy? I don't mind throwing $$$ at the problem as long as I get commensurate results.

Thanks for any help.

There were airfoils on our Mh when we got it, on the arm where the wiper fits into. Dealer replaced them with old standard design. Can't find anything like them.
We have the same problem, of them lifting and bouncing at speed or wind.
It can't be good for the life of them or the motors.
I'm going to have to ask at a truck stop about the clips. Our wipers are at the top, of the windshield and tough to just change the wiper blades.

As I mentioned, I have these installed already.

As for wipers with an airfoil, I've seen them for cars and truck but never on ones that would fit my MH.

Try a wiper with an air-foil profile. This can be most "frame-less" wipers, or some conventional-framed wipers have an airfoil on top. I'm currently running BOSCH icon wipers. The Rain-X frameless wipers I had last time were great too but so far I'm getting a more life with the BOSCH wipers.

Also, frameless wipers don't build up snow and ice, which is the main reason I use that style.
