Then, the left mold 9 and the right mold 4 are inserted onto the fixing rod 12. Next, the lower mold core 14 is placed on the bottom mold 3. Under the action of the second protrusion 22, the lower mold core 14 is positioned. At the same time as the lower mold core 14 is placed, the rear mold 2 contacts the end face of the bottom mold 3. Then, the upper mold core 18 is placed on the lower mold core 14. Under the action of the first protrusion 23, the upper mold core 18 is positioned. At the same time as the upper mold core 18 is placed, the front mold 5 contacts the other end face of the bottom mold 3. Finally, the top mold 1 is placed, and the fixing rod 12 is inserted into the top mold 1.

At the same time, the nut 7 is removed from the fixing rod 12, and the fixing rod 12 is rotated to remove the lower end of the fixing rod 12 from the threaded hole 3a of the bottom mold 3. After removing the fixing rod 12, the top mold 1, the left mold 9, and the right mold 4 are disassembled in sequence, and then the front mold 5 is disassembled. While the front mold 5 is being disassembled, the upper mold core 18 is pulled out from the mounting groove 13b of the wiper element 13. The rear mold 2 is then disassembled. While the rear mold 2 is being disassembled, the lower mold core 14 is pulled out from the mounting groove 13b of the wiper element 13. Finally, the wiper element 13 is easily separated from the bottom mold 3.
