A windshield wiper system and a vehicle having the same, where the windshield wiper system has a wiper blade rotating about a first pivot. The wiper blade includes an inner blade portion hinged to an outer blade portion. A flexible wiper is supported by the inner and outer blade portions. A deflector is formed on the outer blade portion. A control bar rotates about a second pivot that is spaced apart from the first pivot. The control bar has an actuator for engaging with the deflector. The actuator is capable of translating relative to the deflector in order for the actuator to selectively apply a force to the deflector during rotation of the wiper blade and control bar. The application of the force causes a torque about the hinge between the inner and outer blade portions. The torque allows the outer blade portion to follow the contour of a windshield.
