Standard Windshield Wiper Blades – Standard windshield wiper blades use a metal or plastic frame with a central bridge and links that work in tandem to provide four to eight pressure points on your windshield. Integrated spring flexors evenly distribute the force generated to the glass for a clean wipe.

Flat Windshield Wiper Blades – Flat windshield wiper blades are a popular, low-profile option for many new vehicles that feature a full-length spoiler and tensioned metal flexors that apply uniform pressure to the full-length rubber blade. This style of windshield wiper blade is designed to increase uniform pressure and reduce wind noise with an aerodynamic design. 

Hybrid Windshield Wiper Blades – Hybrid windshield wiper blades may be the best of both worlds with a similar aerodynamic profile to a flat wiper blade and the performance of a traditional standard blade. An integrated spoiler runs the length of the blade to reduce wind resistance and create consistent pressure at high speeds.
