A windscreen wiper device comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element and an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes at least one groove, in which at least one groove a longitudinal strip of said carrier element is disposed, said windscreen wiper device further comprising:

• a connecting device for interconnecting said windscreen wiper device and an oscillating arm pivotally connectable to said connecting device about a pivot axis near one end thereof, wherein said connecting device includes two pairs of blind holes and two pairs of through holes, wherein each pair of blind holes aligns with each pair of through holes along a longitudinal axis of said connecting device, and wherein said pair of through holes is separated by said pair of blind holes, wherein each blind hole is arranged to allow a welding tool access through said blind hole to contact said longitudinal strip for welding said longitudinal strip and said connecting device together, wherein each through hole is open from a bottom of said connecting device, wherein said connecting device has a U-shaped cross section with free ends of legs of said U-shaped cross section extending inwardly so that one of said free ends receives a longitudinal side of said longitudinal strip;
• and
• four pins, wherein each pin cooperates with one of said through holes and a corresponding hole in said longitudinal strip, wherein each pin interconnects said longitudinal strip and said connecting device to block longitudinal movement of said connecting device relative to said longitudinal strip.
