A wiper which may be enhanced with a wind guide device in which the wiper has a support bracket system to accommodate and guide a wiper strip. Two subordinated brackets are positioned in a swivel bearing via a joint pin or joint bolt, resp., such that they may be rotated. The ends of the joint pin or the joint bolt, resp., project from the outside of the side walls of the primary bracket and form stop bars. The wind guide device is equipped with two mounting brackets which overreach the primary bracket in the range of the swivel bearing and may be attached reversibly on the stop bars while correspondingly designed recesses in the side walls of the mounting brackets accommodate the stop bars.
