We've had a few days of rain 'round here and I finally got to use my new wiper blades. Ever since I bought the car, I've had a couple of problems with the wipers. 1) They really didn't seem to do the job well, even after I replaced the refills. 2) A bad case of "wiper lift" at 60-65 mph. I can now attribute both problems to the A/M wiper blades. No "smear" and no "lift." I thought I'd have to get new arms to get rid of the "lift" problem, but, the OE blades did the trick. Must be those little bumpers
