Abstract: A windscreen wiper, for example for an automobile, which is provided with an arm comprising a first part and a second part connected thereto. At the location of the connection, said first part is bar-shaped and said second part comprises plate material which is bent round said first part. The two parts are fixed with respect to each other in that the plate material of said second part is locally deformed at its edge in such a manner as to extend into a recess in said first part, whereby said recess is provided with an edge comprising a straight portion, which extends in a direction transversely to said bar-shaped first part, whereby the deformation at the edge of the plate material comprises a cut in said edge, whereby an edge formed by said cut butts against said straight portion of the edge of said recess.
