How to only change the rubber blade on a windshield wiper

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Windshield wipers

How many times have we thought it was a waste to change the entire windshield wiper, when the only damaged part was the rubber part? The only rubber "blade" exists as a replacement, you just need to know how to change it, and in this video we see how to do it: here we specifically see the "aero" model, we need to raise the arm of the brush, open the little door and pull down. Now we have the brush in hand, to which we need to change the blade. With a small screwdriver we can remove the protections on the edges of the brush: inside there is an iron spring, which must also be removed, and we remove the worn blade. We take the new blade and measure it against the old one to cut it to the same size, then we slide it back into the slide, and close it with the iron spring and the protections. We reassemble the brush on the car and we're good to go.
