      Wiper Lift

      Just wondering if anyone else has a problem with their wipers lifting at highway speeds and if changing blades to the flex-type will help.

      I bought the flex type and they were worse then the orriginal. Yes, the orriginal lifts as well.

      I've used these on a smaller scale and they solved the problem.

      I was thinking those are really my only option.

      They're typically pretty tacky so I think i'll pass on those.

      I wonder if a person could just replace the factory wiper arm spring with one of a higher tension .

      Re: Wiper Lift

      That would be the best way to go about it because I can lift the arm about 2" off the windshield and it stays there, seems like the springs are pretty weak. I might have to see if the dealer thinks it's enough of an issue to warranty it, probably not though.

      i got same prob, i always just spray the hinge with wd40 and white lithium when it acts up and its fine. try that first.
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      Re: Wiper Lift

      the springs in all my wiper arms went bad last year, i replaced all wiper arms, and wiper blades, and now 1 year after the rear and the driver wiper arm spring is bad again, can't we just buy aftermarket wiper arms?
