I don't know whether it was because the springs in the blade were too stiff; but, the wiper blade, particularly the passenger side, would ride completely off the glass in the center of the blade.
The point where the bayonet fitting attaches to the arm looks 'minimal' on those blades. Do you get any rocking of the wiper blade as it goes through its motion? I think it is because the wiper arms on the 140 sit so high off the glass they generate a lot of twist on the blade as it goes through its motion. Twice I have had the plastic bayonet adapters on the one size fits all black wiper blades crack and pop out of the blade during use.

Fitted this year to Trico arms. Seem to work totally fine but probably not driven in a downpour either. Will have a gander at the originals.
