How hybrid wiper blades work

By combining the superior wiping performance of conventional blades with the style and aerodynamic qualities of flat blades, our hybrid wiper blades represent the pinnacle of high-speed wiper blade technology. Designed to perform in extreme weather conditions, the stiff, integrated structure means our hybrids can perform better for longer. As well as holding to the surface of the windscreen more effectively, our hybrid wiper blades’ advanced design makes them highly resistant to the elements, dust and dirt, without compromising on appearance.

A fully covered, stylish matt black body and low-profile form factor makes our hybrid wiper blades unobtrusive, aerodynamic, and quiet. Plus, they’re easy to attach to the wiper arm with an integrated standard U-hook fixing system. Available in a range of lengths and with 21 part numbers in the range, DENSO’s hybrid wiper blades are the product of choice for car makers and aftermarket businesses worldwide.

Installation and fault finding

Wiper blades are a key part of any car’s safety system, so to keep drivers and passengers safe in all weathers, they need to be installed correctly and have any faults fixed quickly.

Installation

Wiper blades are straightforward to install when the correct steps are followed

Firstly, read the installation guide carefully.
Clean the windshield manually (not with the old wiper blades).
Ensure the new wiper blades are the correct ones. It’s essential to do this early – once the old ones are removed, it can be difficult to fit them back onto the wiper arms.
Lift the arm off the windshield to its highest point. Some cars’ wipers need to be moved to the service position or to 12 o’clock. This is because not all wiper arms are designed to be lifted in their normal ‘parked’ position and can be prevented from doing so by the hood.
Remove the old wiper blades and inspect the wiper arms for corrosion and imperfections. If these are evident, seek professional advice to ensure their safety isn’t compromised.
Gently place the arm back into position. Do not allow the arm to stand on its own or hit the windshield, as in both cases, the windshield will be damaged and likely need replacement.
Take and prepare the new wiper. Remove protective cover from the rubber, if present. Lift the arm again and install the wiper in accordance with the installation guide. Gently place the arm back into position.
Try operating the wiper system while vehicle is stationary.

Fault finding

Fixing faults quickly will ensure optimum wiper blade performance.

Foreign matter has attached itself to the rubber blade.
The edge or whole of the blade is worn.
The arm is at an incorrect angle.
The wiper blade or rubber is deformed.

Streaking marks on the windscreen.
The wiper blade jumps or vibrates as it moves across the windscreen.
There are spots on the screen that are left unwiped.
The wiper blade doesn’t make contact with the windscreen evenly, leaving large unwiped surfaces.

If you notice any symptoms of wiper blade failure, it’s worth checking the blade to make sure the arm is at the correct angle and the wiper blade is clean. If, after wiping and changing the angle, there is no improvement in performance, the blade may need replacing. It’s recommended that wiper blades be replaced every year at least.
