Toyota MR2 Spyder 2004 Wiper Blades
What Kind of Windshield Wipers Do
I Need?
When you're in the
market for parts to do a DIY wiper blade replacement, it's important to know
you have what you need to do the job right. There are a few different kinds of
blades. They differ in design, materials, and connectors. The most common types
of wiper blades:
- Conventional
wiper blades were the most common blades for many years, featuring a rubber
blade attached to a metal frame. They are pretty affordable, and they are
typically replaced every six months
- Beam wiper blades
are built from a solid piece of rubber meaning they can better wrap around your
windshield's curvature. They cost more than traditional blades, but are more
efficient at keeping your windshield clean and they last about twice as long
- Hybrid wiper
blades look a lot like beam blades at first glance, but feature a metal frame
that is coated with rubber to provide similar all weather performance
Among these three
styles, there are more even more variations with how the blade connects to the
wiper arm. The three types of wiper blade connectors:
- Hook style blades
or U shapes feature a rotating hook that wraps around a rounded end of the
wiper arm
- Clamp style
blades have an opening that the arm is inserted into and clamps on the side to
hold them in place
- Pin style blades
have a horizontal hole in the middle where a pin on the arm goes through to
hold the wiper in place.

Driving without
resilient and long-lasting wiper blades is detrimental to your windshield.
There are many tell-tale signs that your faulty blades must be replaced
immediately. Hardened or broken rubber causes streaks as the blades scrape
against the windshield. If you see a flimsy mist after wiping, there might be
rubbish or oil embedded on the rubber.
Make sure you
inspect your blades and look for gashes, scruffy edges, or blemishes on the
rubber. Don't forget to check your rear wipers. You should also observe your
blades' wipe pattern. If you see a series of streaks, that indicates the rubber
has bent too far. A defective blade also creates screeching, whacking or
throbbing sounds when in use.
