I guess its just being stuck, spray some WD40 and tuck it out with a screwdriver.

get a wiper puller. its a clasp which hold onto the back side of the wiper. then you screw a bolt down into the stud. this will pull the wiper arm off. you can find them at kragen, pep boys, autozone etc.

if your talking about the wipers that have the little spoiler on them, those wipers at high speeds will get pushed down onto the windshield because of the air hitting it, so it ensures a better wipe. Regular wipers over time tend to generate lift especially when the car get old. I had that problem on my previous celica, civic, and stanza. Everytime i drove on the highway in the rain, the winshield wipers would hardly wipe cause the air was lifting them off the windshield. If your talking about those cool looking amg aero wipers, those wipers look hot as hellmy pops says that they arent durable at all, and if you use them on snow or ice they get destroyed.

To name a few:
Half of the components of a regular blade
Integrated spoiler
Better adapted to vehicle design
Improved wipe quality at high driving speeds
Reduced wind noise
Improved winter performance due to elimination of metal structure
Better down vision (50% flatter)

you can see mine at http://homepage.mac.com/drsunilpatel/PhotoAlbum14.html You have to change the wiper arms, the blades, and the plastic bolt covers.
