Windshield wiper problems at freeway speeds?

[Archive]

For any experiencing "dancing" or chattering windshield wipers in rainy weather, I installed one of the double-wiper type holders in my '91, and made all the difference in the world in their performance.

Before, at speeds above 45mph or so, they were so erratic and poor, they were nearly worthless - but now perform beautifully. The ones I got are designed with built-in wind "wings" that hold tighter to the windshield as speed and airflow increases, instead of "flying" as the originals did...

Gary,
Are we allowed to post manufacturer's names? If so, who made those blades?

Stan, it isn't the blades perticularly, it's the 2-blade HOLDER, with the "wind spoiler" that holds the blades down against the windshiels at freeway speed that is the issue. There are a number of brands available at places like Kragen, Grand Auto and Checker.

Thanks Gary. As I get some skip and chatter, I'll try these the next change. Thought there might be a particular one that you found to work the best.
