1. A connector for a wiper comprising:
a main body and a rotary cover, where the main body includes a bottom wall and two lateral walls that contribute to delimiting an internal volume that is at least partially closed by the rotary cover;
where the rotary cover includes a covering wall, a reinforcing wall, an articulation and an attachment device;
the rotary cover configured to secure to the bottom wall of the main body;
the covering wall extending longitudinally between two longitudinal ends of the covering wall and configured to be in contact with the lateral walls of the main body, where the articulation is formed at a longitudinal end of the covering wall and allows the rotary cover to rotate about an axis;
the rotary cover includes a bearing device formed with a set of elongated tabs spaced apart, which each extend from the covering wall to free terminal ends thereof;
the free terminal ends of said elongated tabs mutually engage in-contact with the bottom wall when the rotary cover bears fully against the bottom wall of the main body.
