Hybrid Wiper Blades for All-Weather Clarity

What Are Hybrid Wiper Blades?

Hybrid wiper blades combine the sturdy metal frame of traditional wiper blades with the sleek, frameless design of beam blades, offering a perfect blend of durability and performance. TOPEX hybrid blades feature a low-profile polymer shell and a flexible nano-graphite rubber edge, ensuring even pressure for streak-free wiping across curved windshields. Their aerodynamic design reduces wind lift and noise by 20% (≤65 dB at 80 km/h), while resisting wear in extreme conditions (-40°C to +80°C). With EZ-Lock connectors fitting 95% of vehicles, they provide reliable, all-season clarity for drivers and OEMs.
