i've heard of this happening to other people in 3g tegs, too. how do you guys keep it from happening?

 

you cant , the only weay is to remove it
they all do that
at least all mine did

 

ummmm, well, let's see... maybe you should slow the fawk down

 

BWHAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA

 

How do you fix it? Don't drive 100mph! What need do you have to go that fast? That's good for a 30+ ticket at least. What's the point?

 

Yes I agree you should probably slow down.

I'm not sure if this will work or not. On the underside of the wiper arm there is a spring. Try replacing that spring or the whole arm. That should be what tensions the wiper blade down.

 

i agree. stay at 25. it's safe for you.

 

yeah i figured i'd have a lot of people saying that, but it's not like i go that fast everyday or anything. just every once in a while. are you trying to tell me you've never gone 100?

 

just remove it..I took mine off cause I never used it...........

 

you should probably slow down. but since that's not the answer you're looking for, buy a new one. you probably have worn out the spring tension that holds it in place. otherwise, remove it and cover the hole.

 

Haha, I was going to say, "Are you driving the autoban? Slow down!" but i think everyone else killed that reply. Anyways, that spring in your wiper is weak/bad. You'll have to get a new one wiper assembly. Take a look at it, maybe you can ghetto rig something up.

 

If you have needle noser pliers you can bend the hooks to pull teh spring tighter, might help a little.

 

get a JDM rear wiper, I hear its a much better unit

 

You could add a BIG roof scoope and wing. That would make the air go around your wiper.

Just take it off or slow down

 

Duct tape.

 

actually you would want air to go onto the wiper. its the lack of air above the wiper that causes it to raise up. blow directly over a penny, itll fly in the air. same concept.

that being said, get a mini gtr wing from a RC car and deflect air down onto the wiper

 

lol, yeah get the jdm rear wiper.. then you can tell everyone your rear wiper is JDM!

 

 

Isn't there a spring in the wiper arm? Maybe it needs to be replaced?

 

I removed mine completely and plugged that sucker up.

It looks much cleaner.

And, doing a 100mph isn't wise.

Actually, that's only 25 over around here. Typical speeds are 80-85, but it's pretty easy to hit 95 on some long downhill stretches between Phoenix and Flagstaff.

As for need, when you're in the middle of the desert and there's absolutely no civilization for 100 miles, you want to get where you're going as fast as possible. I imagine it's even worse in places like Wyoming or Montana. Think about it: if you drove 100mph instead of 80, a 6-hour trip would only take 5 hours.

 

Dont go 100 ****** miles an hour.
gmoore

 

gotta love all the friendly advice

anywho... i was testing out my wipers at about 170-180km/h a while back, they all seemed to work okay. I don't have a rear wing, i spose there is a chance that that effects it.
any of your people with the problem rinning wingless??

 

He had a question if you have never gone 100 on the street you can flame him if not then dont flame.
