Ya' know, that's a good reminder to check the wipers that I have used only a few times in 5 years. They usually sit in the garage under a cover, but they are most likely dried out and should be replaced with new ones.

This subject has came up before & it is because of high speed, the wipers will stay down.If you look at your OEM's there is a spoiler on them,so at 200 MPH the air will hold them down..???
