1. A wiper blade assembly for a vehicle, the wiper blade assembly comprising:

a wiper arm having a first end installed at a windshield glass side, the wiper arm being configured to rotate, wherein an installation bracket is positioned at a second side of the wiper arm;

a blade mounted on the installation bracket of the wiper arm and configured to clean a windshield glass; and

a nozzle installed on an assembling part extending outward from the installation bracket of the wiper arm, the nozzle being positioned between the assembling part and the blade, and the nozzle being configured to spray a cleaning liquid in a longitudinal direction in which the blade extends;

wherein the nozzle is assembled so that one surface of the nozzle and one surface of the blade adjoin each other, and the nozzle and the blade are located on the same plane;

wherein a support body having elasticity is provided on one surface of the nozzle, which adjoin the blade, and supports one surface of the blade;

wherein the assembling part is formed with an extension portion extending outward from the installation bracket and a bent portion at an end of the extension portion to form an installation space;

wherein the nozzle is positioned in the installation space so a spray port configured to spray the cleaning liquid is positioned between the assembling part and the blade; and

wherein a cover configured to cover the wiper arm is positioned at an upper end of the wiper arm, wherein the cover is configured to cover the wiper arm and the extension portion of the wiper arm.

2. The wiper blade assembly of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is assembled by being fitted with the assembling part in a direction perpendicular to the assembling part of the installation bracket.

3. The wiper blade assembly of claim 1 , wherein a catching groove is formed in the bent portion, a catching protrusion is formed on the nozzle, and the nozzle is assembled to the bent portion as the catching protrusion is fitted into the catching groove.

4. The wiper blade assembly of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle comprises:

a nozzle body; and

an outer part spaced apart outward from the nozzle body;

wherein the bent portion is fitted between the nozzle body and the outer part.

5. The wiper blade assembly of claim 4 , wherein catching protrusions are formed on the nozzle body and the outer part so as to face each other, and the nozzle is assembled to the bent portion as the catching protrusions, which face each other, are fitted into a catching groove of the bent portion when the bent portion is fitted between the nozzle body and the outer part.

6. The wiper blade assembly of claim 1 , wherein a hose configured to transmit the cleaning liquid to the nozzle is connected to an injection port of the nozzle.
