Default Highway speed wiper skip

Hey all, I have a problem and a question for all of you. On my 96 Civic, I experience a wiper skip/lift problem while traveling at highway speeds (60-70 MPH). The wiper will actually lift off the windshield on the return stroke and skip part of the windshield leaving a big "pile" of water in the driver's and passenger's line of site. I've tried several different name brands of wipers including Anco and Bosch. Is the problem in the wiper arm itself? Do the springs get weak and not put the proper pressure on the windshield? I noticed that this problem started after I got the windshield replaced, but I can't find a logical reason that a new windshield would cause this problem, the Honda dealer is stumped and so am I. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Tom
