Default wipers/arms

possibly a daft question but its getting on my tits now,
when its raining and travelling anything after 50, the wipers lift off the windscreen slightly so it doesnt clear the rain.
do all saxo's do this, and is there anything i can do to prevent it?

cheers

for a temp thing, would those plastic aero fins solve my problem?

cheers, will check them too. does the spring come out so it can be changed or will that be a case of a new arm?

Yeah it does come out, but its a bit fiddly to do, dunno if you could buy brand new ones might be easier fitting some second hand complete arms from the scrappy? Never had any trouble with mine though (touch wood) they're quite good actually!
