Hybrid Wiper Blades

What's The Difference Between Hybrid And Conventional Wiper Blades?

While conventional hinged windshield wiper blades provide excellent performance in pelting rain and the beam (or flat) wipers have a sleek look and produce a clean wiping action, the hybrid wiper blades are engineered for extreme weather.

If you're looking for new wiper blades, you may have come across the terms "hybrid" and "conventional." So, what's the difference between these two types of wiper blades? Conventional hinged windshield wiper blades are the most common type on the market. They are affordable, easy to find, and provide excellent performance in pelting rain. On the other hand, the beam (or flat) wipers have a sleek look and produce a clean wiping action. However, when it comes to extreme weather conditions, neither of these types can compare to hybrid wiper blades. The hybrid wiper blades, also known as hybrid beam wiper blades or hybrid blade wiper, are engineered for harsh environments. They combine the best of both worlds, utilizing a traditional metal frame but with the beam blade's sleek and aerodynamic style. With a specially designed rubber wiping element, the hybrid wiper blades provide optimal contact with the windshield, resulting in a clean swipe, even in snowy or icy conditions. Whether you live in an area with extreme weather or are simply looking for a long-lasting and reliable wiper blade, hybrid blades are an excellent option.

How Do You Change Hybrid Wiper Blades?

Changing hybrid wiper blades is a simple task that can be done in a few steps. Hybrid blades, also known as hybrid beam wiper blades, combine the best features of conventional and beam-style wipers, offering superior performance in various weather conditions.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to replace your hybrid blade wiper:

Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield. This will give you easy access to the blade.

Locate the small tab on the underside of the wiper where it meets the wiper arm. Press this tab to release the blade.

Slide the old wiper blade off the arm. Be careful not to let the metal arm fall back onto your windshield as it could cause damage.

Take your new hybrid blades and slide them onto the arm. You should hear a click when the blade locks into place.

Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Repeat the process for the other wiper.

Remember, it's important to replace your hybrid beam wiper blades regularly to ensure clear visibility and safe driving. At MAPMS, we offer a wide range of high-quality hybrid wiper blades designed for durability and optimal performance.
