Description
Hella Metal WP48 – wiper blade is 475 mm long and features a frame design.
This wiper blade boasts a durable alloy structure with articulated pressure points, engineered for precise downforce on complex windshield shapes. The synthetic EPDM wiping edge is firmly anchored in a metal groove, delivering a consistent sweep across the arc. Refill-compatible design and broad vehicle fitment make it a cost-effective choice for older models. It boasts a durable galvanized frame that resists corrosion and mechanical wear, a multi-pivot action that adapts to complex windshield curves and a simple rubber refill system that extends service life while reducing total cost of ownership. However, exposed hinges may freeze and clog with dirt during winter, at high speeds it can experience wind lift and increased noise, and natural rubber wears faster in sunlight whereas polymer composites command a higher price. Periodically clean and lubricate the hinges with a silicone spray every three to six months and replace the wiping edge every six to twelve months (or every four to six months in harsh climates). Perfect for mild weather, daily commuting and economical drivers, this blade secures dependable performance, clear visibility and lasting value at an affordable price.
