A windshield wiper assembly includes a telescoping wiper head having a first section fixed to a pivot drive shaft and a second section capable of translating relative to the first section between an extended position and a retracted position. A curvilinear guide rail engages the second section and guides the second section between the extended and retracted positions. A wiper blade is carried on the second section. Advantageously the wiper assembly functions to provide enhanced wiper coverage over the Zone B portion of the windscreen through which the occupants view is typically directed.

A windshield wiper system has a drive arm with a drive shaft connector, a curved cantilever beam, and a wiper blade assembly. The drive arm is configured to connect to a drive shaft at the drive shaft connector. The curved cantilever beam is connected to the drive arm with a first drive arm fastener and a moveable drive arm fastener. The first drive arm fastener is positioned on the drive arm between the drive shaft connector and the moveable drive arm fastener. The moveable drive arm fastener is positioned at one of a plurality of moveable drive arm fastening positions. The wiper blade assembly is connected to the curved cantilever beam with a wiper blade fastener positioned at a wiper blade assembly fastening position on an outboard tip of the curved cantilever beam. The curved cantilever beam has an effective length extending from the moveable drive arm fastener to the wiper blade assembly fastener such that a blade load exerted by the curved cantilever beam on the wiper blade assembly is a function of the effective length

A wiper system for a vehicle windshield, the wiper system comprising a support assembly that is slidably movable along a guide rail, a wiper rotatably mounted on the support assembly, the wiper comprising a wiper arm and a wiper blade connected thereto, wherein the support assembly comprises a first motor mounted on a motor base, the motor base being slidably movable relative to a tilting table between at least two different positions for interacting with a first coupling element to rotate the wiper arm around a rotation axis, and for interacting with a second coupling element to adjust a length of the wiper, a second motor adapted to pivot the tilting table around a pivot axis, the tilting table being movable between at least two different positions, i.e., a non-operating position and a tilted position wherein the wiper blade is inclined thus applying a pressure on the vehicle windshield.
