Windshield Wiper noise?

I've noticed lately that when I'm driving above 55 MPH that the passeger side wiper seems to slightly rattle. It is extremely slight but noticeable. Seems the wind is causing it to lift slightly and chatter against the windshield. Anyone else notice this? Is there someone to get a tighter spring for the wiper to keep it held more solidly against the windshield?
Thanks.

P.S. I do have a Stampede high profile bugshield on my truck. Not sure if this would be contributing to this problem.

I don't have that problem, then again, i don't have a bug guard installed either.

I had the same problem when I had a Ford low profile on. That plus the hood shake. Removed bug shield, both problems gone.
Years ago they made wipers with a little wing on top. These were good for keeping the wiper down on the windshield at high speed. Unfortunately I have not seen them in quite a while. If you find any like that you might give them a try.

There have been many threads about the turbulence with a high profile bug shield. I would try taking it off just to be sure that is or is not the problem, then go from there. Just my .02.
