Wiper blade spoiler...thingies.
I've been doing a bunch of driving on highways where the daytime speeds of traffic are around 75-80mph, averaging about 65-70 usually. I find that over 60 and my wipers become somewhat ineffective, usually lifting off a bit and leaving streaks and spots, which then dissipate in 5-10s. Not a huge deal, but something I'd like to get rid of if possible. Below 60 and my wipers work great, so I'm pretty sure it's a speed related issue.
Im thinking about ordering a set of PIAA Super Sporza wiper blades:  I'm hoping these might help a bit for the freeway drives, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this specific blade, or if anyone could recommend any alternatives?

PIAA Super Silicones are THE best wiper out there. Wash windshield, wipe down with their prep pack (which is just 99% iso) then transfer a layer of silicone from the wipers to the windshield by running them dry for 5 minutes.
Great wipers, had them on my WRX. That particular model has the aerodynamic fin to prevent lift at speed which I DID NOT have, but heard was effective from people who did have it. Beyond that, you don't actually need to replace the wiper arms themselves, only the rubber inserts. |
