The Problem With Adapters
Most drivers have experienced opening a wiper blade package and finding a large assortment of adapters. Then they're tasked with finding the right one, which doesn't really look like the old one, and installing it without breaking the fragile plastic.
The Solution
At Wiper Haus, we do extensive research to know the correct adapters for your vehicle and install them at our facility before shipping. When the wiper blades arrive to you they are ready to snap in to your wiper arms. This saves you time, frustration, and the possibility of breaking something in the process.
To install adapters we open the packaging, install the correct adapter, and seal the packaging with a Wiper Haus label.
We may install adapters on the following product lines:
- BOSCH ICON
- BOSCH Clear Advantage
- BOSCH Rear
Tools Used
Installing wiper blade adapters theoretically should be a tool-free project, but we find it safest to use tools and eye protection. A 3/16" flat tip screwdriver works well for spreading the adapter over the pivot lugs, we prefer the Snap-on® SGD2 series.
Better for the Planet
By installing correct adapters and not shipping the unused ones we are able to reduce the shipping weight and properly recycle the unused adapters. Lower shipping weight means lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
BOSCH wiper blade adapters are made from POM plastic, which is usually not recycled in a residential single-stream recycling program. Small uncommon plastic pieces just go to the landfill. By collecting thousands of unused adapters we are able to send them to a "regrind" facility that will turn them into plastic pellets for making other products.
Special Requests
If you would prefer to receive unopened wiper blades simply add "don't install adapters" to your order comments on checkout, or simply reply to your order confirmation email shortly after purchasing.
