hi everyone this is geramicc85
what i have here is a windscreen wiper
it is a bosch aerotwin AR530S
as you can see here, the wiping rubber is worn off
I'm gonna be replacing it today
I don't wanna throw this whole thing out and buy new ones
that's why I bought just the rubber refill kit
after looking online on how to get these caps off
some people use pliers to do that
but then you actually scratch the surface of the wiper blades
and it is going to start rosting because it is made out of metal
i found out a nicer and easier way to take out the old rubber
and put a new one in and I just wanted to demonstrate that to you real quick
it might be usefull to you
these caps on both ends they're keeping the metal blades that are holding the rubber together
so you would have to squeeze those two metal blades together to get off this cap
since that is not easy
if the rubber is still in between it we just gonna take the rubber out first
we do that by pushing it backwards a little bit
then you can see that there is
a small hole, we just gonna pull out the rubber
from there. then it comes out and then you just keep pulling
once started you can just pull it out all the way
since the old rubber is damaged anyway
it doesn't matter if it breaks like now
and that's it, the old rubber is all off
now you can see the two metal blades on the side
that are holding the rubber usually
now there's enough space between it to press them together
and take off the cap just like that
you don't need any tools or screwdrivers to do that
the cap on the other side you can just leave on
here's the new rubber that i bought
i bought it online and it cost me 5 bucks
thats a lot cheaper then buying new windscreen wipers
and what we do is we take them apart
i am taking the new rubber now and I'm putting it between the two
metal blades and im inserting it
all the way through, you can
keep the two metal blades aside by it using your fingernail
then it's easy to push in the new rubber
i am pulling it back just a little bit
and then cutting it off with scissors
there's one more thing to do
we're gonna put the cap back on and that's it
