Abstract
A first wiper having an arm and blade and a second wiper having an arm and blade are located at a lower end of a windshield. The first and second wipers are positioned in parallel to each other with a certain overlapped region, the second wiper being in front of the first wiper, when they are not operated. Wind stream hits the wipers from the front when a vehicle is running. A surface for guiding the wind stream. upward (opposite to the windshield surface) is formed on the arm of the second wiper so that the guided wind stream does not hit the first wiper positioned behind the second wiper. Thus, noises caused by the wind stream flowing through the first wiper after the wind stream first hits the second wiper are effectively reduced.
