This tutorial is totally misleading, because first it shows the freely moving end of the rubber inlay on the right side, and the "fixed" one on the left side, and then after a cut it shows removal of the right side cap. However, in reality you've to remove that cap which is on the side that does NOT move - which was originally on the left side in the video. So, always remove that cap where the rubber doesn't seem to slide in its tracks, and not the one on that side, where it moves freely. Also, if you're buying original Bosch replacement rubber blade, don't worry about damaging the caps, because new caps will be supplied alongside the rubber blade. Of course always check that you're buying a replacement blade with caps, otherwise you'll have to put your old, damaged caps back on.
But they show and explain it correctly! They just flipped the wiper, which was during a cut and can be a bit confusing at all but if you listen carefully there’s no problem in getting it 😊
I've found you can remove the end cap with your finger nails. Fantastic saving and eco friendly too, and the replacement blades work as good as the originals...
Video is completely misleading and end cap did not require pliers to remove, simply the release of two spring clips underneath using a pick. For what little use it is the video may as well not exist! Refill provided was not genuine Bosch, although this was not clear from wiper-blades-refills website.
I don't believe bosch do refills. In a way the shop is doing you a favour of showing you it is possible to change refills to save money. If you want bosch rubber, go buy a new blade. Personally, I prefer the cheapest refills directly from china.
@@andrewpearce6082 I suspect they are not trying to mislead and just not very expert on how it is done. Most videos are made by non-experts. This video gives you a general clue on how it is done. Often, this is good enough for simple mechanisms. I doubt they would have claimed the refills were made by bosch. If you bought them and disappointed, then it's a case of learning from experience. Life is often a gamble and sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. Only today, I received some renault blades for cheap. These were bosch icon's and work with my non-renault car perfectly. I will be putting in my directly-from-china refills when the bosch rubber wears out. I don't care for brand and only want function.
Getting that end cap off is easier said than done. Seems like you pre-staged the removal...?

want to order but your website order form is insecure, please fix.
First off, thank you! Second, will this only work for the AeroTwin or can this also work for the Bosch Icon as well?
From Turkei thanks madam good video
I found that the trick is to use a flat head and insert into the cap from the blade body. Poke on the top of the blade.... good luck

I change differently

@@fungames24 None of which points are an excuse for either a misleading retailer website, or a misleading how-to video!
