If there are any benefits to having conventional wipers, they certainly don’t outnumber those of bracketless blades. Due to their construction, conventional wiper blades only have a few (usually 6-8) contact points with the windshield, while beam wipers “hug” your screen to create a complete coverage. In addition, frameless blades are more wind-resistant and generally more durable as well, so it’s clear to see why they are becoming more commonplace.
