Bosch 3397018962 Wiper Blade

Bosch 3397018962 Wiper Blade

The Bosch 3397018962 is a high‑performance wiper blade designed for heavy‑duty trucks and commercial vehicles. It features the renowned Twin N56 design, which delivers superior wiping action across a wide range of weather conditions.

Key Design Features

• Length: 550 mm – optimal for large windshields and side windows on trucks such as the DAF 95, F‑800, and VAN HOOL T‑Series.
• Hook Type Construction: The blade incorporates a robust hook that secures firmly to the vehicle’s wiper arm, ensuring consistent contact pressure throughout operation.
• Dual‑Layer Silicone Strip: A flexible silicone layer sits beneath a durable rubber backing. This combination provides excellent adhesion on wet surfaces while resisting abrasion from road debris.
• Heat‑Resistant Materials: The blade’s components are engineered to withstand high temperatures, preventing degradation during prolonged use in hot climates.

Performance Characteristics

The Twin N56 wiper blade delivers a smooth, streak‑free wipe even under heavy rain or snow. Its advanced rubber compound maintains flexibility across temperature extremes, while the silicone strip ensures that water is efficiently displaced from the windshield.

• Streak Reduction: The dual‑layer design minimizes residual film and improves visibility during adverse weather.
• Durability: Engineered for long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements on commercial fleets.
• Noise Control: The blade’s construction reduces vibration, resulting in quieter operation compared to standard rubber wipers.

The Bosch 3397018962 is specifically engineered for the following vehicle models:

• DAF 95 series (including F‑800 variants)
• VAN HOOL T‑Series trucks
• Other heavy‑duty commercial vehicles with a 550 mm front wiper requirement.

Installation is straightforward: remove the existing blade, align the hook to the wiper arm, and secure it in place. The blade’s length and shape are standardized for these models, ensuring a perfect fit without modification.

• Inspect the silicone strip regularly for signs of wear or cracking; replace if necessary to maintain optimal performance.
• Clean the blade with mild soap and water after each use to remove road grime and prevent buildup that could affect wiping efficiency.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals on the rubber backing, as they can accelerate degradation.

Bosch is a global leader in automotive components, known for rigorous testing and quality assurance. The 3397018962 wiper blade reflects this commitment:

• Precision Engineering: Each blade undergoes strict dimensional checks to guarantee consistent performance.
• Material Excellence: High‑grade silicone and rubber compounds are selected for their resilience and longevity.
• Field Proven: Widely adopted by commercial fleets worldwide, the blade has a proven track record in demanding operational environments.

While primarily designed for heavy‑duty trucks, the Bosch 3397018962 can also be used on any vehicle requiring a 550 mm front wiper. Its robust construction makes it suitable for vans, buses, and even large SUVs that benefit from enhanced visibility during inclement weather.

The Bosch 3397018962 Wiper Blade combines advanced materials, a proven Twin N56 design, and rigorous engineering to deliver reliable, streak‑free performance for commercial vehicles. Its long service life, ease of installation, and superior wiping action make it the preferred choice for fleet operators seeking safety and efficiency on the road.
