Walter, I can't speak to running 80 in the rain. But after I sent my vacuum motor to Wiperman for a rebuild it works the Jeep spring loaded wiper arms with new blades no problem. The Jeep wiper arms are the same length as the originals. I don't recall the details as to which Jeep they were original on, the old guy parts store gentleman spent a couple minutes with a parts book and pulled them off the shelf.
