[DeTomaso] Wiper parking

Sat Oct 10 02:35:56 EDT 2015

It's not so much keeping the water moving; the Gr 3 airfoils keep the wipers from rising up away from the glass at higher road speeds. This was a problem when driving over about 125mph in the rain. Reportedly the airfoils press the wipers down so they work fine at 150 in rain. I don't personally know this but I know some racers.... Cheers- J DeRyke

Do they work?  (up to what speed do they keep the wipers moving water?)

Many of the Euro Gr-3s have them. Hall Pantera used to offer
   them, and they
are easy to fab up from aircraft aluminum or ss. They
   simply clip on
tightly. Several arms available in various lengths to
   fit std OD wiper
posts.

 ..... I need to acquire a set of silver arms and have seen a couple
of them
   with built in airfoils, probably impossible to find, but if anybody
has
   a pair, I may have something cool to trade.

   I was refinishing my
black wiper arms tonight and I became curious. I
   knew I could count on you
guys for the answer. It's this kind of Stuff
   that could be included in a
massive database before all of our gurus
   move on, which I'm sure it is
already, but which one? I need to acquire
