    I was thinking about replacing the rubber on my Dino wiper blades. On my Mercedes of similar vintage it takes a couple of minutes - there’s a metal strip that holds the rubber in place. You slide the metal strip out, replace the rubber, and finally slide the strip back into place. The Dino Arman&c blades have a similar metal strip, but one end has a notch with one narrow clip so there’s no way I can see to slide the strip out. Am I missing something or is It just not designed for the rubber alone to be replaced?

    The Arman blades were made to be totally changed and not replaceable like the Mercedes ones (which is a fabulous design BTW). When I restored mine I had to gently open them up and used rubber from a Bosch blade before closing them back up again. Super slow and time consuming and definitely not designed to be like that. The problem is that if you find some perfect NOS blades the rubbers will be dry rotted anyways. I think it is worth the effort to try and save the blades that you have.
