Description
The Hella Metal WP53 spans 525 mm and offers a frame configuration for optimal contact.
The replacement blade showcases a sturdy steel skeleton with articulated pressure points, designed to ensure precise downforce on curved glass. The natural rubber wiping edge is securely bonded in a U-channel, delivering a consistent sweep across the arc. User-friendly blade swaps and multi-vehicle fitment make it a reliable pick for older models. It incorporates 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 assures dependable performance, clear visibility and lasting value at an affordable price.
