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.

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 жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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

Thanks again.

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!

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.

@peteanderson2533 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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 жыл бұрын

+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 жыл бұрын

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.

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?

@KidNoah2012 9 ай бұрын

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!

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.
