Abstract
A method of manufacturing a wiper blade for a windshield wiper system of motor vehicles with a yoke system for guiding an elongate wiper strip including a lip mounted on a carrier via a web is disclosed. The wiper blade and method of manufacturing the wiper blade includes the wiper strip installed with respect to the yoke system with the carrier extending through at least one claw of the yoke system. Each claw has opposing bendable sidewalls defining a generally U-shaped channel therebetween and located initially in an opened position with respect to one another during installation of the wiper strip. The opposing sidewalls of at least one claw are bent inwardly in two directions toward the longitudinal axis of the elongate wiper strip to a closed position, where one of the two directions of bending movement is at an angle other than perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal axis of the elongate wiper strip and the other of the two directions is toward a base wall extending between the opposing sidewalls of the U-shaped channel in the yoke system.
