Are rear wiper blades unique?
Wiper blades come in three major types: “conventional,” “flat,” and “hybrid.”
Conventional wipers are easily distinguished because of the attached blade to an articulated metal frame. They are the type that have long been considered standard equipment on many autos. Flat wipers have gained popularity in recent years.
They consist of a substantial blade and a little plastic connection block in the center.
Hybrid wipers combine the two in some way, and the blade’s “frame” serves as an aerodynamic spoiler.
In order to prevent the blade from lifting quickly, this is meant to force it onto the screen.
Upgrade to flat or hybrid wipers if your automobile currently has conventional wipers for better looks and performance.
Rear wipers are often much smaller than front ones, and while many cars have front wipers that are similar to the rear ones in appearance, some have model-specific rear wipers that have the arm and the blade combined into a single unit.
These must be replaced together and are often secured to a splined shaft by a little nut.
