Abstract
The invention is based on a wiper blade () having a wiper strip () and a support element () at whose ends endcaps () are guided, said endcaps () at their end sides () facing the ends of the wiper blade () extending as far as a wiper lip () via the support element (), wherein at least one endcap () has a lid () which is connected to the endcap () so as to be capable of pivoting about an articulation axis () transversely with respect to the wiper blade () and has a gudgeon () on its side facing the head strip (), which gudgeon () penetrates the head strip () when the lid () is closed. It is proposed that the tip of the gudgeon () be secured by parts of the endcap () or of the lid () against contact both in the opened state of the lid () and in the closed state.
