A wiper blade (10) consisting of a rubber profiled element (48) comprising a wiper lip (50) and at least one carrier element (46) that can be connected to a wiper arm (18) by means of a fixing element (14) and a connection element (22). The fixing element (14) comprises a covering cap (16) and the connection element (22) fixed to the wiper arm (18) secures the wiper blade (10) perpendicularly to a pivoting axis (20) by means of a clip (52), on the end (54) thereof at an angle to the wiper blade. According to the invention, the covering cap (16) comprises an opening (34) or recess for the angular end (54) of the clip (52), on the side of the cap opposing the rubber profiled element (48), in the region of the connection element (22), said opening only partially overlapping the covering cap (16) in the mounted position.
Wiper blade (10), constructed of a rubber profiled element (48) with a wiper lip (50) and at least one support element (46), connectable to a wiper arm (18) by a fixing element (14) and a connection element (22), the fixing element (14) having a covering cap (16), the connection element (22) being fastened to the wiper arm (18) and securing the wiper blade (10) via a clip (52) transverse to a pivoting axis (20) by means of an end (54) of the clip (52) bent towards the wiper blade (10), characterized in that the covering cap (16) defines one of an opening (34) and a recess for the bent end (54) of the clip (52) on a side of the cap (16) facing away from the rubber profiled element (48) in a region of the connection element (22), the clip (52) only partially overlapping the covering cap (16) in a mounted position, characterized in that the connection element (22) has a fastening plate (56) running parallel to a wide side of a wiper rod (18), on which fastening plate the clip (52) is formed, in that the fastening plate (56) is attached on an inner side of an end (26) of the wiper rod (18) and a covering (70) is provided on an opposite side of the end (26), and in that a front wall (72) of the covering (70) covers a front side of the end (26) and of the connection element (22).
