Thanks for the tutorial, I was able to follow along and replace my wiper blades with refills. It's frustrating how difficult Bosch make it to do so!

I think you should’ve pushed down those little clips in order to remove the plastic endcap

We have produced wipers for more than 20 years and accepted customized packaging boxes and logos

Tricky to get the end caps off but it should be easier next time. Im guessing willonly ne able to change the rubber out one or two more times before the plastic caps break.
