The proposed support element (12) for a wiper strip (15) of rubber-elastic material belonging to a wiper blade (10) for motor vehicle windshields is fastened to the underside (22) of the elongated springing-elastic support element (12) facing the windshield so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis, wherein this support element (12) is produced through the use of woven fiber material that is impregnated with a reaction mixture. A particularly simple and economical production of the support element (12) is possible when this support element (12) is produced entirely from the fiber material impregnated with the reaction mixture.
