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.
