It depends on how the wipers are set up, I've had it happen at 85 ish, but not happen at...ahem....a bit faster then that!

I get this occasionally when the weather is really bad and I'm motoring a bit....although I tend not to need wipers at 120mph...usually the weather is good then

So what's the remedy to fixing them?....new motors or to tighten something up? I

started using RainX on the windows. As long as they are thoroughly clean before application, it works so well that I hardly need to use my wipers at all...ever...lol.

as t said my car is terrible for it, i think its because of the motor as it clunks when the wipers go up and down

the wipers also not only go up the screen but they go back down again lol

i dont have a spoiler on either or on the arms

they have rubber seals around them where they sit in the scuttle panel

water sits in there and rots the seals away,. which lets water in and i guess corrodes part(s) of it and "loosens" it, so it then moves at high speeds.

mine havent done it for ages though, but its not like i go over 80 when its raining anyway. i hate driving in the rain.

RainX ftw!!
