Windshield wiper blade

A wiper blade assembly comprising:

• a wiper strip;
• a force distribution structure;
• and
• a connector assembly comprising:
• a base connector, having two longitudinal side walls, a first and second end, a top surface extending between the first and second end, and a bottom surface opposite the top surface,
• wherein the top surface comprises a first and second cantilevered beam, each provided with a locking tab, extending from a central portion of the top surface towards each respective end of the connector assembly,
• wherein a pair of wings are adjacent to each of the cantilevered beams, each wing having an outer surface,
• wherein a base support structure is provided proximate the bottom surface, the base support structure capable of securing the base connector to the force distribution structure, and
• wherein a contoured shelf is provided proximate the first end and faces towards the second end, the contoured shelf extending fully from the top surface to the bottom surface;
• and
• a cap including
• an aperture which can engage and secure the locking tab of the first cantilevered beam of the connector assembly, and
• a contoured edge having a complementary shape with the contoured shelf, the contoured edge positioned adjacent to the contoured shelf as the locking tab is secured with the aperture, and the contoured edge extending fully from the top surface to the bottom surface of the base connector,
• wherein the first cantilevered beam extends towards the first end of the connector, and the second cantilevered beam extends towards the second end of the connector, and wherein a first width, defined between the outer surface of the pair of wings adjacent the first cantilevered beam, is greater than a second width, defined between the outer surface of the pair of wings on the second end.
