Abstract
A windshield wiper for an automotive vehicle has a flat plate located in an inclined position in which an edge of the flat plate that is upstream with respect to the air flow above the surface of the windshield is disposed closer to the surface of the windshield than the downstream edge. The flat plate also has a plurality of deflectors for disturbing the air flow. One of the deflectors is located at the upstream edge of the flat plate on the side facing the windshield and the other deflector is located at the downstream edge of the flat plate on the side opposite the windshield.
