Abstract

A wiper blade (10) comprising a rubber elastic wiper strip (12) into whose lateral longitudinal grooves resilient rails (18, 20) are inserted as support elements and laterally protrude from the longitudinal grooves, wherein the resilient rails (18, 20) are held together at their ends and are fixed relative to the wiper strip (12) in the longitudinal direction and support a terminal cap (24). It is proposed that the terminal caps (24) have detachable fixing means (34) that engage in a top strip (16) of the wiper strip (12), wherein the axial movability of the resilient rails (18, 20) relative to the wiper strip (24) is limited by the terminal caps.
