A packaging assembly for enclosing a wiper assembly comprising:
- a base having a bottom wall, a first side having a first wall extending from said bottom wall, a second side having a second wall extending from said bottom wall and opposing said first wall of said first side, and an accommodation space defined by said bottom wall, said first wall, and said second wall as a hollow cavity having a generally rectangular and linearly extending shape to receive the wiper assembly;
- said base including a plurality of protrusions extending from said second wall into said accommodation space to maintain a curvature of the wiper assembly;
- a cover connected pivotally to said second side of said base, said cover having a top, opposing first and second sides, and an accommodation space to receive the wiper assembly between said opposing first and second sides;
- and
- said base having a recess extending toward said bottom wall in said second wall of said second side near a center thereof to receive a portion of the wiper assembly to center the wiper assembly in said packaging assembly while providing optimal curvature for the wiper assembly.
