Abstract
A lever assembly is connected to a wiper arm and holds a wiper strip together with a backing plate, which is installed in the wiper strip. The lever assembly includes a plurality of levers. Each lever has a finned portion, in which a fin is integrally formed. The finned portion of each lever forms a mountain fold that has a top ridge. The top ridge of the lever is offset from the center line of the wiper strip on one side of the center line of the wiper strip in a transverse direction that is perpendicular to the center line of the wiper strip. The fin is formed in the finned portion of the lever on the other side of the center line of the wiper strip.
