I am replacing the rubber on a Bosch Aerotwin wiper blade AR530S that i use on my 2nd gen Dodge Ram. I show an easy way without tools needed. Procedure for other wiper blades like Bosch icons might be similar.

@justinthomas2880 9 лет назад

The only honest DIY video that wants to help you save money, versus buying the whole new blade. Thank you immensely for this video. It took me a while to find it, but worth it!!!!!

@rogerdevero8726 3 года назад

Well done young man. Long before your time, 'refills' were commonly used. Nowadays, the wiper companies nearly insist that you replace the entire unit. Thank you for showing us how to save $$$ and how to be more self-sufficient.

@lordjaashin Год назад

refilling wiper rubber is environmentally responsible option than throwing away the whole body of perfectly good wiper blade. I'm glad this video exist and educating more people about cheaper and environmentally friendly option

@Phil_Vernon Год назад

Almost 11 years later and still saving us $'s. Kudos to you my good man.

@tubemakers8021 7 лет назад

Excellent! I love the simplicity of the task and your calming voice throughout this video, I'm currently doing this to my blades thank you !!

@PomPom210 3 года назад

Thank you for this excellently explained simple video. I am a 76 years old female living in a LHD country owning a RHD motorhome and the LHD blades of course don´t fit so other than sending to the UK for completely new blades this was my answer and I have just completed the passenger side. Thanks again.

@chickenluck 10 лет назад

Amazing! Thank you so much for this video! Have been figuring out out to get this out for years! Got them in 2011 and the blades got worn. No one at my local workshop knew how to replace the blades. I finally can replace it with PIAA silicon blades.

One of the best DIY videos so far

@aamirabbas7126 3 года назад

Very helpful. Thank you. I bought rubbers online but didn’t know how to change. Tried once and broke one wiper. Then found this video and it worked perfectly. Good job man !

@AAbood-jx9mf 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video, my brother's been trying for hours and I found this video and finished in 5 mins.

@darrell6642 2 года назад

I just paid $32 for a pair of new wiper blades from an auto parts store. Never again!!! Thank you so so much for this video. You are a gem, sir.

@Sticker-Happy 9 лет назад

I had just bought a set of these aerotwins allround the car, thank you for sharing this video as I now know how to change the refills. These are much better than the conventional ones :)

@eagledeoro 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing. I will return the wipers I just bought and get just the rubber. Big savings$$$. Much appreciated. Now to find the right refill.

@patssaumeistras 3 года назад

Unlike many videos I watched, this one is useful. Thanks

@FlyMeAirplane 3 года назад

Works for other brands also. The steel springs in mine were starting to rust so I sanded and painted them also. Great video!

@Frankie5Angels150 Месяц назад

Holy cow! A video that does exactly what it promises to do!

@worldtraveler4584 5 лет назад

Thanks for this video. I wish I had seen it before I spent a few hours trying to figure out how to change the rubber blades on my VW GTi. In my case I had to disassemble the whole wiper including the both ends and middle arm attachment piece because the new rubber would not slid in so easy as shown in the video. One additional thing I would add is to spray a small amount of WD-40 on the metal spacers to make it a little easier for the rubber to slide in. I also re-coated the rubber with dry graphite when finished. This simple repair will save you approximately 30 to 50 US dollars and it will help the environment because there is no need to trash the whole wiper just because it needs new rubber inserts. The greedy manufacturers whom are intentionally trying to make consumer products un-repairable may not like it though!

@ssunkite1 10 лет назад

Thanks for this educational video on replacing wiper blades. Bosch wiper blades gave me a hard time to replace therefore with your insight now I have a better idea how to do it. Your video is simply amazing.

@kcatto21 10 лет назад

very cool tip!.... I am scheduled to change my wiper blades soon so this is a great help... thank you again...

@AndresGarcia-iz4ob 6 лет назад

@britonmarrett796 3 года назад

Excellent video. You just got the job done. Straight to the point! 💯 🏆

@peteanderson2533 5 лет назад

Pretty awesome! I tried this with my Hyundai I30 genuine rear blade (I bought a new one, but thought I would reco the old one for future). Sadly it won't work well as the cheeky buggers flared the wiper rubber in the middle. This acts as a support, using generic blades because this support is gone, the arm flops around a bit. Maybe making a support myself will fix this.

@johnnyhatesjazz7434 5 лет назад

Thank you for taking the time to make this instructional video. Helped.

@lizramsey4593 Год назад

thank you for this, calm and easy to follow, unlike some others I have seen.

@FordPrefect57 10 лет назад

Very helpful. Thank you. Same as my Volvo S40. I had given up trying to figure it out.

@sstrentzsch 9 лет назад

Thank you! I have Bosch Icon's, and figured it would work, too. Yes, it works, but ***BOSCH HAS ADDED A 'No-Refill' FEATURE*** - at least to some Icon's. At the center, under the metal ribs, are two 'nubs' - the existing rubber slides out, but nothing will slide past the center nubs (I was able to slide one thru w/o mod by leaving the original rubber in, slide new rubber in at one end, and 'pull/push' so as the old came past center, new was right next to it). FIX: Free the metal ribs, remove from plastic bracket, exposing nubs. Cut, scratch or grind them flush. Once flush, rubber refills slip on easily. And yes - the refill rubber (from Ebay) seem to be as good as the original. I looked at marks on the refills and originals, and they have similar mfgr marks. I'm sure some are sub-standard, but I also suspect some refills are *better*.

@moogarlicious 8 лет назад

+Scott S. i found that you don't have to grind the nubs off if you pull off the plastic rail cover from the end you've removed the cap from. This allows enough play in the metal rails to slide the rubber over the nubs without catching on them. Once you've got the rubber past the nubs re-attach the plastic cover and then it's easy to slide the rubber down the whole length.

@mobilephone4045 4 года назад

I just unclipped the center part that attaches to the wiper arm, then bent the little stoppers up from the other side with a screwdriver. Slide the rubber in, then reassemble.

@DIRTDIVER882 8 лет назад

i didnt even know u could replace the blades. so easy instead of just trashing a pair every year.thanks for the knowledge,gna put this one in my tool box.

@luchosuarez3597 2 года назад

Fantastic, I was buying the whole blades all the time, now I'll get the wiper rubbers refill from now on. The question would be if they all are the same size in wide?

@krmkrc 9 лет назад

If only I could watch this before I buy a new pair of wiper blades :'D Thanks a lot :)

@maungsacca 9 лет назад

Thankyou. I did it with pliers and screwdriver and then found your video which is a much better method.

@CLoSC Год назад

Thank you! Super helpful and timely video which has aged very well. It is impossible to find wiper blades that are refillable for Mercedes-Benz E350 with P&H pins. This video will help me to save money.

@johnmascardo7047 10 лет назад

Well done mate! Much help avoiding a big headache!

@edwardaguirre9520 Год назад

Thanks so much for this video! I couldn't find anyone that knew how to remove the tips. You Rock!!

@richardmontague601 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. I was doing mine last night and came across that problem. Used your trick to remove the blade. I had premeasured replacements I just did your removal trick in reverse and fed the new blade through the hole. Compressed it enough to get the whole blade on then just released it.

@marcjost509 3 года назад

Thanks for this helpful video, I tried your suggestions and they worked well in replacing the rubber inserts, which is a much cheaper option

@sallyburgoine4751 9 лет назад

After watching this video I am confident I can do it myself. I have two cars to sort out, my audi a6c6 and my wife's kia rio. Wish me luck. Thanks for your time!

@LisaDeanTV 3 года назад

Good tip there, I like the removal of the metal cap without the pliers.

@paulsharples6716 10 лет назад

Great Stuff - thank you :-) I knew it could be done easily - I just didn't quite expect it to be that easy! LOL!

@nickcoller1962 5 лет назад

Great video and explanation. Thanks a lot!

@johndow5599 9 лет назад

Fantastic! Thanks much for posting. I'm tired of paying the dealer for new assemblies every time the rubber gets damaged! And they can't even mount them right, LOL. Now, one question though, to anyone who knows: are these rubber elements, the replacements, I mean, same for all cars -- or do you need to pick the right one somehow?

@bouldheads 8 лет назад

Thanks, I took an Anco refill I had, removed it from its spline and inserted it as you described in the Bosch "arm". Saved me some $$, thanks for sharing!

@Josephpaulchu 9 лет назад

Neil, Do you know the width/profile of the insert you used? was it 6mm?

@neilmeiskey5482 9 лет назад

Sorry, don't remember and I'm not home with my vehicle to check:(

@DouglasCalvertHilo 8 месяцев назад

Fantastic! So easy and just what I needed to know.

@KidNoah2012 8 месяцев назад

I didn't know you were supposed to pull the new rubber pieces apart to get two blades. I kept looking at the two pieces that came from Amazon and thinking what the heck is this. There's no flap to wipe the screen. I mean I was this close to sending them back because the package said "4 pieces" and of course there were just two 26" strips. Then I watched your video and I became fully enlightened!

@cawag98 7 лет назад

Thanks for this. Ah the perils of DIY on used expensive cars! After research and buying the wrong thing, I know now that w203 Mercedes 2004 c320 4matic wagons and similar cars use a Valeo style SWF "slider" blade - its profile has a squeegee on one side and a rubber aero squeegee/blade on the sky-side of the wiper. Between them are two identical ribs and then a bigger rib on the sky side. So now I just need to buy the replacement bulk rubber squeegee refills. Where did you buy yours? Thanks.

@Josephpaulchu 9 лет назад

Thanks so much geRaMicc85! You must be in gremany. Do you know what refills to use in the US? They look like "D" profile inserts (which would ordinarily fit "square claw" blade assemblies. I measured them as 6mm wide (8mm are quite common too) the 6MM are hard to find in the 26" length.

@lazelle83 Год назад

Omg thanks so much I was having such a hard time taking those caps off

Thanks. Living the cali desert eats the rubber blade pretty quickly and then coming to the southern rainy states my windows are a mess and wipers in the rainy are more expensive.

@AstroFazersPlaylist 7 лет назад

I've just changed wiper blades in my bosh aerotwin wipers but rubber blades stopped exactly in the middle of the way and didn't want to go any further. I needed to take out wiper arm mounting point which was causing a problem. I just noticed that you were using you nail to keep metal rails apart when rubber blades stopped in the middle, it this really helping? Because of this problem Bosh makes blades replacement difficult, maybe they don't want people to replace only blades but to buy every time whole new wipers, that not ecological, produce more rubbish and is more expensive for users :/
