Conventional Windscreen Wipers usually have many metal or plastic components between strategically design points of the wiper providing 4-8 structure points wiping through the pressure given in the springs.

With so many parts attached, these wipers are prone to severe and frequent wear and tear. In addition, these wipers does not allow even wiping, therefore causing uneven wiping action, resulting in streaks of water mark, affecting visibility. (These wipers are less aerodynamic).
