Wipers don't touch windshield at high speed

When traveling over 50mph in my 94 JGC the wipers kind of lift off the windshield - the faster I go the wrose it gets. Not good!!!! A shop replaced the blades - they thought I was a dumb broad and didn't know what I was talking about. Any real advice??

Go under 50....<kidding> Uhm that's odd, sounds like the blades/wipers that were on there aren't the right size. Go to the Jeep dealer and buy a set of OE (original equipment) ones. Also check the spring tensioners in each arm, make sure the spring is connected and/or not all stretched out, etc.

You may have to replace the wiper arms themselves because the tension springs may be worn out.
