Wiper Blade Size Chart: Everything You Should Know

The purpose of a wiper blade, also called a windscreen wiper or windshield wiper, is to keep the windscreen clean. Wiper blades move back and forth to clear snow, rain,  wiper fluid, and other debris off car front windows. Wiper blade sizes vary by the vehicle type, and some vehicles have two sizes for each type of window. In this article, you will learn how the size of wiper blades varies depending on the kind and application.

How to Choose the Right Wiper Blade For Your Vehicle?

Every vehicle has a manufacturer-recommended size of wiper blade, specific to that make, model, and year. It's important to choose the right wiper blade for your vehicle. Installing wiper blades longer than recommended can cause them to jam and collide. This can result in wiper motor failure or wiper blade damage. 

Furthermore, the wiper blade's contact may damage costly windshield trim. Oversized blades may not follow the curvature of a windshield, reducing visibility because the improper blade size does not clear the entire glass. Too-short windshield wipers will not be able to clean the windshield entirely. So, always buy the right size of wiper blades mentioned in your vehicle’s owner's manual. This will provide a solid fit and protect your windshield against damage caused by debris, dirt, sand, etc.
