Why are the arms of my wipers not holding?
I don’t run my wipers that fast nor often so it is beyond my why the arms aren’t holding. If this continues with a different brand I guess I’ll have to try bending the hook part of the wiper arm to hold more tightly. They ‘snap’ when installed, they just come loose somehow. You didn’t already close up the hook part a bit after the first incident?
