A first wiper having an arm and blade and a second wiper having an arm and blade are located at a lower end of a windshield. The first and second wipers are positioned in parallel to each other with a certain overlapped region, the second wiper being in front of the first wiper, when they are not operated. Wind stream hits the wipers from the front when a vehicle is running. A surface for guiding the wind stream. upward (opposite to the windshield surface) is formed on the arm of the second wiper so that the guided wind stream does not hit the first wiper positioned behind the second wiper. Thus, noises caused by the wind stream flowing through the first wiper after the wind stream first hits the second wiper are effectively reduced.

1. A windshield wiper for an automobile comprising:a first wiper including a first wiper arm and a first wiper blade connected to the first wiper arm, and the first wiper arm being connected to a first pivotal shaft disposed below a windshield of an automobile body, the first wiper being pivotally rotated by the first pivotal shaft so that the first wiper blade cleans a surface of the windshield; and a second wiper including a second wiper arm and a second wiper blade connected to the second wiper arm, the second wiper arm being connected to a second pivotal shaft disposed below the windshield of the automobile body, the second wiper being pivotally rotated by the second pivotal shaft so that the second wiper blade cleans the surface of the windshield, each of said first and second wiper blades including a blade rubber portion and a plurality of holding levers supporting said blade rubber portion, which leaves first spaces between said holding levers; both the first and second wipers moving simultaneously in the same direction to wipe the windshield and taking their resting position, when they are not operated, at a lowest part of the windshield with their longitudinal direction placed substantially in parallel to a width direction of the automobile body and substantially in parallel with each other, the second wiper being located in adjacent front of the first wiper with a first overlapped region in which the second wiper arm overlaps with at least more than half part of the first wiper blade so that a wind stream first hits the second wiper arm and then the first wiper blade in the overlapped region when the automobile is running; wherein: the second wiper arm includes a surface, coupled to said holding lever, for guiding the wind stream upward to reduce the wind stream hitting the first wiper blade and to reduce the wind stream flow through said first spaces between the holding levers and also reduce wind stream through spaces between the blade rubber position and said holding levers.
