Subject:windshield wipers

Now that the "monsoon season" has arrived (somewhat late)in northern New
Mexico, I am using my windshield wipers more.  The splines are worn off
where the wiper attaches and so a few weeks ago I used some gasket sealant
and seated the wipers where I wanted them to be.  Worked fine for a little
while, then yesterday I was driving home in a sudden downpour and they got
all out of sync again and started hitting each other and I had to stop in
the rain and relocate them.  Anyone have a real fix for this?  I know this
is probably in the archives, but I only get 30-minute spells at the
computer during summers.

Off to Chaco Canyon again tomorrow, and if it rains, the windshield wipers
will be the least of my worries!  Once took me 5-1/2 hours to get out of
there in the mud/clay.
