How To Replace A Wiper Blade Rubber refil insert 

It is a bit easier to simply cut the rubber holding the wiper in and slide out the rubber. Cutting them out is a good idea as you won''t be using them again. This way it unnecessary to expand the metal. simply slide in the unit and the new rubber will click into place. That is why one end is shaped like an arrow. To take off use your pliers to push them to together to allow them to slide past the holding point.

Awesome info thanks finally Sorted after going through so many utubes

Do NOT bending away (ruining) the small brackets. (3:20) Just pinch the end of the SSteel strips to slide them along the bracket.

My replacement rubbers are meant to fit my wiper blades and the fitting is greatly superior. The grips at each end are plastic and do not need to be opened or squeezed. This is not a problem because the rubbers themselves and the steel springs have special indentations at one end to hold the rubber firmly in place. This means that the spring blades have to be held in the rubbers before they are fitted. This was comparatively easy and I held the spring steel inserts loosely in place with cable clips before fitting. However, there are no instructions to say which end of the blade is preferable to to fit the rubber on the blade as this retaining method is only found at one end of the rubber to allow the other end to be trimmed. So which end is best to retain the rubber? The end at the top that performs the long sweep or the end at the bottom with the shorter travel? Or is this important? The way that you fitted the rubber and the lack of any instructions with my rubbers suggest not.

Anyone try it for Mercedes oem ones?

Where can I purchase the rubber inserts? Can't find at auto shops nearby in Chicago area. RockAuto will sell them for about $2.00, but adds $10.00+ for shipping. Is China the only low cost source?

So I dont need the metal brace things

Buy yourself a decent pair of pliers !

Your replacement seems to be rubber. Silicon is much more flexible.

You shouldn't need to bend the metal.
