Abstract
The present invention overcomes the limitations and disadvantages in the related art in a beam blade windshield wiper assembly having a universal coupler assembly. The universal coupler assembly includes a carrier that is operatively mounted to the windshield wiper assembly, a saddle that is removably received and retained by the carrier, and a coupler that is operatively mounted to the saddle. The carrier, saddle, and coupler cooperate to accommodate various sizes of 'hook-type' attachment members, 'bayonet-type' attachment members, as well as “pin-type” attachment members that are used to connect the wiper arm and the windshield wiper assembly.
