Does your wipers are always functional at high speed ?

Tell us about your feeling : longer coasting, noise...

TIA,

Denis.
Yeah, I had seen your thread and had never thought of attaching it UNDER the hood until today. I have never had the problem of my wipers losing function at high speed.

So far, I have only driven to work and back with it on (15 minutes each way) and didn't notice anything.

Luckily, we have been having several warm days, then it lightly snowed yesterday. Hopefully we won't get much more for the rest of the year. When it is snow season, I always park with my wipers all the way up (shut off the car in mid-wipe) so I hopefully won't have that problem. If I do, I can just open the hood and take the airblock out to remove the snow.

Yeah... it is pretty big. I'm going to cut it down either tonight or tomorrow. I don't want to cut it down at the ends, but I am going to cut it down towards the middle. It has a very heavy curve to it because the passenger side wiper is mounted pretty far out and pushes the airblock out quite a bit.
