A wiper element includes a member formed of a flexible, resilient material and comprised of a body portion having a strip at one side and a pair of wiper blades extending from the opposite side in parallel, spaced relation. The strip is spaced from the body portion by the length of a connecting neck forming a gap, and the body portion is formed to provide at least one extension from each side adjacent the strip and wiper blades. The wiper blades are partially formed by an inwardly arcuate contour extending from a location of each extension to a blunt end. The body portion is capable of flexing about the gap so that the blunt end of each wiper blade contacts a window during a wiping action.A holder is adapted to be supported by a wiper arm and, in turn, supports the strip of the wiper element.
