Ok so when going down the motor way say 80-90 my wipers are pushed up the screen by the wind!!! and the quicker i go the futher they get pushed up!! its like the motor isnt holding them in place! anyone else had this problem???

Maybe an idea to slow down to the legal limit.

Yes ! I've had that problem, when the screen is wet, less friction I suppose and high speed, must look into it some time.

I'm wondering if I could move both of them down a tiny bit so they will be under the slip stream of the bonnet. The motor does not hold them it only moves them and parks them !

lol let the first non speeder cast the first stone!!

im wondering if it has anything to do with my wipers not parking at the bottom?? they go to the bottom then jump up an inch!

Do you have the wipers with the aero foil to push harder against the glass ?

Except 80mph in a Z4 feels like 60mph in a lots of other cars

Mine did this and in the end I had the motor replaced. I believe the motor contacts get dirty and the wiper doesnt park the blades back at the correct place. There is a how to on the site, but as mine was under warranty I had it done by BMW and it resolved the problem.

And I kept telling the policeman that it FELT like 70mph, but he was having none of it.....
