Why do your wiper blades lift off of your windshield when you are driving?

This is called "windlift" and is usually more of a problem with conventional framed wiper blades. Bottom-line, its a result of the design of the wiper where airflow actually can get under the wiper and lift it rather than a design that uses the air to actually push the wiper down and create more contact.
If you are experiencing this on your vehicle, I recommend looking into the newer-style beam wiper blades that have aerodynamic designs that counteract windlift. Checkout the related links and you'll be fully schooled in the latest wiper blade technologies.
I use both Trico NeoForm Beam Blades and Trico Tech Beam Blades and have no problems with windlift and also enjoy the many other benefits to the new technologies.

So if you go with aftermarket blades, you will lose your wiper washer feature, and fluid will squirt everywhere unless you cap off the rubber hoses.
