Welcome to the froum.

What do you mean fly off? The only reason I can see them flying off would be the wrong part # or they are installed incorrectly.

Unless you drive 200 MPH

Were they a aftermarket universal type? What year and model are we talking about?

Is the attachment the exact same as the OEM wipers?

The NBS has a new design that was hard to come by except at the parts dept for about $25-$30. Several aftermarket suppliers now have blade assys w/ the new attachment but the OEM one made by Valeo is the only one that I've seen that has the low profile.
