We have 28" truvision wiper blades on our motor home but we can't get them to lay flat. Is there a trick to getting them to lay flat on the windshield and not lift up when a truck goes by?

there is an add on spring that you can get at any auto parts store that will fix it here is a link of what they look like.Home Hardware - Add-On Wiper Arm Springs or NAPA AUTO PARTS or just replace the spring that is located in the wiper arm.

Thanks we will try that it's flustrating only being able to see out of part of the windshield.

Most wiper blades have a designed in curve to follow car windshields that are curved. You need to shop at a heavy truck dealer or NAPA and see if they can get you a pair that are straight. I tried a set of Rain-X blades because Consumers Report rated them very high. WRONG!! They had a very distinct curve to them and they would not wipe the center. I found some at NAPA that worked.

After almost 10 years I just put new wipers on our rig. Ours are 32" and hard to find at a reasonable price. I paid about $80 for the pair back in 2005 and had them stored all this time.
I've seen only one RV place that carried the 32" blades as open stock. I had to buy mine through a Newmar dealer.

I saw the wiper springs at NAPA but didn't buy any because ours work fine as is.
