Abstract

The invention relates to a windshield wiper device (100) for a vehicle, comprising a wiper blade (2) having an elongated upper part (10) and an elongated lower part (12), which are configured to be flexible, at least in part. Also provided are multiple connecting elements (18) for connecting the upper part (10) and the lower part (12), the connecting elements being mutually spaced along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2) and being attached to the upper part (10) and/or the lower part (12) by a rotary joint, and the connecting elements (18) being designed to allow a movement of the upper part (10) and the lower part relative to each another with a movement component along a longitudinal extent (8) of the wiper blade (2). Said windshield wiper device further comprises a quick-connecting device (32) which is designed such that the windshield wiper device can be detachably connected to a drive shaft (35) of a drive unit of the vehicle. At least one engagement part (36) and an elastic clamping jaw (38) cooperate in order to switch when applying an external force between a clamping position (K) and a release position (F).
