Alright so when I go over 70mph in the rain my driver side windshield wiper lifts off the window.. At 80mph I can hardly see at all in the rain.. anything over that and I cant drive in the rain.. It doesnt come all the way off just enough for it not to get the rain off the windshield... I have replaced the blades and didnt help.. Went to AutoZone and got some 30 dollar a pop windshield wipers and blades and still didnt fix it.. It is not as bad but still has a spot in the center where it doesnt get the rain.. I am thinking its the arm.. I can lift it up and see a spring in there and more then likely it is the spring is just old and not tight enough to hold it down anymore.. Anyone else having this problem? If others are then I will take it to the dealer and have them replace it.. I am at 49,900 miles so needs to be soon.. If not then I am guess I will have to purchase a new spring or something.. Any help would be great.. Thanks..

They had 4.. I guess I really only have 3 for each side.. 3 driver side springs and 3 passenger side... They actually had tons of goodies.. 2 of them were side impacts and the other 2 were front impacts.. the 2 front impacts were pretty bad.. they had to of used the jaws of life on one of them.. most the side and inside was all cut up..lots of stuff was cut and damaged.. the side ones you could actually get a good bit of stuff.. there is like 10 junk yards in about a 40 mile range from me.. stuff is cheap.. buddy of mine blew his engine and he went to a junk yard and got a engine with 10k miles on it for 200 bucks..
