Step 2Break apart

break apart
Yup, it's my favourite part. Time to break stuff!

Wipers come in a variety of types and makes, but they are all going to follow the basic structure of assembly, so taking them apart may be different than what Ive shown but don't worry, we need just the rubberized part, so destroying the outer housing isn't an issue.

I accomplished this by taking a sharp knife and carefully cutting into the rubber until you hit the silver metal shanks that hold the rubber blade in place, cut off more than you think you need just in case. I cut about 13cm (5").
The rubber part extends beyond the shanks however your knife will not fit, instead just grab the rubber and pull out sideways along the length of the shank, the small section of rubber still attached will easily break.

In this picture I have also removed the metal shanks, this stage is not necessary as we dont need them. I thought about having a system which would make the blades removable but it was too much effort and not worth the trouble considering mechanically fastening them to the glove is far easier.
