Windscreen wipers

Does anyone else just replace the rubber bit rather than the whole lot?

Pardon our interruption...

No I always replace the whole wiper assembly.

I used to in the olden days but not since aero-type blades have become common.

I find them easier to change on the aero wipers (once you figure out how to unclip the end bit). The frame type always seemed to fall apart on me when the two metal strips weren't supported by the rubber blade.
