    Wiper Help needed

    With over 3.5 k miles planned trip driving this year, it's time to upgrade wipers that work.  Mine leave the glass at any mph over 65.   Any suggestions ?  I replaced / upgraged arm to new stock looking aftermarkets. Same friggn issue they lift off glass??  NOT good for driving with wife screaming ?

    Find some originals. They have better springs.

    Texas. Your Canyon Lake. Didn't know there was a Canyon Lake California. My first question was if he was a member of the Canyon Lake Gearheads. He said no as he's from Cali, but said his buddy was a member.
