a receiving element that is connectable to the wiper arm and has an adapter opening for receiving the adapter the receiving element is elongated to define a longitudinal direction thereof;
the adapter having at least two locking regions that are deformable with respect to one another and are configured to lock the adapter to the receiving element in a locked position; and
an actuator for unlocking the at least two locking regions, the actuator configured to engage into an engagement opening of the receiving element in an unlocked position, and the at least two locking regions being deformed by the actuator with respect to one another in such a way that the adapter is removable through the adapter opening;
wherein the actuator is actuatable along an actuating direction that coincides with the longitudinal direction of the receiving element.
