hi guys,

the wipers on my car start to rise covering about 1/4 of the windscreen wen im doing 70+mph on the motorways

its really annoying, the bolts not loose but its the fixing that holds the wiper to the bolted section that seems loose, the bit that bends when u lift them completly of the windscreen

is their any way of fixing this?
do u think i shud jus go scrapies and get another 2 wipers?

me 2.......its really bad on the older corsas.......as Kris says, 2 new wiper arms. I'd suggest brand new, or find a 99-00 plate in the scrappers.

Another option wud be to go for the Bosch wiper blades that include a really small black spoiler, and they do work!!

Yeah they are about £22 for a pair from halfords. I'm getting them with some wiper refills to last me a year or two.
