It's probably more of an issue with the wiper blades you're using.
Most of the cheaper wiper blades use a lot of clay fillers in the rubber compound. That means that they'll turn brittle quicker and become useless. Those manufacturers consider that to be a benefit, since you'll be back soon, buying a new wiper blade.
Consider a higher quality wiper blade; you should be a lot more satisfied.

Wiper blades are not an accessorythey are a safety feature. Caring for your wiper blades is just as important as maintaining your breaks. You should regularly inspect your wiper blades and ensure they don't produce streaks on your window. Occasionally use either mild dish detergent or windshield washer fluid on a damp sponge and clean dirt and debris off the rubber blades and also from the windshield where the wipers rest.Don't try to save money on your wiper blades. Invest in your safety. When one blade needs replacement you should also replace the other one. Make certain you are purchasing the correct sized wiper blades for your vehicle. Check your owner's manual, measure the blades, or inquire at your local auto-parts store. On some vehicles, one blade is shorter than the other, so measure both wiper blades. Measure your rear wiper if you have one.If you want to extend the life of your wiper blades, try not to use them for heavy duty cleaning.

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.
