Abstract
In a wiper arm, a retainer has a longitudinal base wall and side walls extending from opposite side edges of the longitudinal base wall, so that the retainer has substantially a U-shaped cross section that opens toward a wiping surface. A first washer nozzle is mounted at a substantially intermediate portion of the retainer and a second washer nozzle is mounted at an end of the retainer. The first and second washer nozzles have a first engagement portion formed with either a projection or a recessed portion. The side walls have a second engagement portion formed with the opposite of the first engagement portion. The first and second engagement portions interlock with each other, so the nozzles are secured between the side walls.
