This A growing world wide phenomenon. Apparently a learned behavior since it is so localized. The worst vultures are at Everglades Park where Black Vultures destroy both wipers and window seals. Damage can be $1,000's. Also reported attacking wipers are crows in England, Australia and NZ. Keas in NZ are notorious for attacking car wipers and seals.
