Windscreen Wipers don't work when driving fast!

[nasz]

When I drive fast the windscreen wipers move away from the windscreen, making it impossible to wipe rain away. Anyone know how I can get them to stick to the glass?

[ed400]

Yes...reduce speed (sorry, couldn't resist )

Rain-X - then you'll hardly need them.....

I use RainX. Anything over 30mph and I turn the wipers off because the screen clears better without wipers.

It's TVR's patented Traction Control, other maunfactures spend millons on fancy electronics, TVR just make it so you can't see, so you slow down
If could be worth see what the tension is like in your wiper arm springs and changing them if they are a bit on the weak side, they aren't that expensive even though they are TVR specific (about £10 each I think)

Thanks all, will try RainX first, then the spanner route.

This is probably obvious but I replaced the ones on mine with a pair of Bosch 16" blades with spoilers on. They seem to work ok even at high speeds. Halfords do them at about £12-15 a pair. TVR wipers are not listed at halfords so I took in one of the existing to get a match.

Might be a cheap fix.

Bosch 16" blades with spoilers on - good idea! Will whizz down their tonight
