  1. Hi Guys, I experimented with something that might come in handy for some of you guys, so I thought of sharing it. My car has Wurth frameless wipers (which cost me about 5500 back in early 2011) and now their time is up. So when I inquired about the price of a new pair, I found out that it had gone up to 7500. I seriously didn’t want to spend 3000 bucks extra just for frameless wipers because the normal Bosche wipers were about 3500 a pair. So I bought the Bosche (normal) pair. I searched for many places in Colombo to see if I can find wiper re-fill kit, but I couldn’t (Thanks for all those who helped including GTAm and H.C). eBay was out of the question in my case because the blades were really bad and I couldn’t drive around with the old set until the blades arrived. I was disappointed that I had to take off the frameless wipers because they looked way better than ordinary wipers. So I looked for the possibility of switching just the element from the new Bosche wiper, to the old Wurth housing. And it worked! Using them for over a week now without any issue. You need: A set of worn out frameless Wipers (in my case, Wurth), The new normal wipers (Bosche in my case), A micro screwdriver and a sharp blade. STEP ONE: Taking off the element from the new wiper The Bosche wiper had one location at with the frame held the element in place without letting it slide off the frame (as seen in the photo below). Use the flathead screwdriver and pry out the element from the frame. After that, the element can be pulled out from the frame. Most wiper elements with a frame has a stainless steel flexor to maintain the rigidity of the wiper element, the Bosche wipers I bought also had this, take the flexor off. It will just fall off once the element is removed. We do not need the flexor because the frameless wiper housing has a steel flexor. Now you have something equivalent to a re-fill. STEP TWO: Taking off the element from the OLD frameless wiper The two ends of the Wurth wiper could be easily removed with the use of the flathead micro screwdriver. Press the locations marked as “1” and pull the end out. Removing one end is sufficient as the element can be pulled out from same. Continued...
