[s-cars] Wiper blade lifting problems...

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

If you want a one-time fix with no additional gadgetry, spend $31 and get a new wiper arm.  After trying numerous fixes, this is what I finally did.  $31 and a few minutes of your time, and the problem is gone.
 
Well worth it IMO.

Gents:

A while back, I read something, somewhere, about how to modify our
wipers to keep the driver's side blade down at speed.  I get it
lifting off the glass at about 80mph, and this doesn't make me very
happy.

Somebody took a B4 wiper arm and stole the wind deflector off of it to
put on a C4 car, but I can't find the link or the write up anywhere.
I understand that the B5 cars wiper arm, mit deflector, is a straight
swap.

Can anyone shed light on this?  I'd rather not have to buy a set of
new blades with wind-deflectors built in - I just want to do a
one-time fix-it that retains the OEM-type blades and inserts, such
that if I need to replace an insert, or a blade, I can do that
locally.

TIA,

Eric
