Abstract
A windshield wiper backing member is slotted for the reception of a squeegee and is provided with breakage indicators along its length to permit it to be used as a "universally applicable" member with different sizes of superstructure. The backing member and the squeegee are both cut to size and the open end of the backing member closed by a plug after the squeegee is threaded therein. The backing member is provided with opposed side slots, the slots and the parts of the backing member between the slots and the member upper face being dimensioned to be operative with two different types of claw connecting the backing member to the superstructure.
