Wiper Blade Size Guide
Find the correct wiper blade sizes for your vehicle by selecting your vehicle type and checking driver and passenger side dimensions.
Windshield wiper blade sizing requires knowing the exact length (in inches) of the driver’s side blade, passenger’s side blade, and rear blade (if applicable) — since they are almost always different lengths.
Why sizes differ: Wipers are sized to match the curvature and sweep arc of a specific windshield. The driver’s blade is typically longer for maximum visibility, while the passenger blade clears a smaller arc. Rear wipers (on hatchbacks and SUVs) are shorter still.
Finding your wiper size — three methods:
- Owner’s manual: Most reliable; lists exact OEM sizes
- In-store fit guides: Auto parts stores (AutoZone, O’Reilly, NAPA) have reference books organized by year/make/model
- Physical measurement: Remove the old blade and measure from end to end in inches
Standard wiper blade lengths and common vehicles:
| Driver Blade | Passenger Blade | Common Vehicles |
|---|---|---|
| 26" + 16" | — | Toyota Camry (2012–2022) |
| 24" + 19" | — | Honda CR-V (2017–2024) |
| 28" + 28" | — | Ford F-150 (2015–2024, both same) |
| 24" + 18" | — | Chevrolet Silverado (2019–2024) |
| 24" + 18" | 13" rear | Subaru Outback (2020–2024) |
Blade types and their tradeoffs:
- Traditional frame: Least expensive ($8–$18), works well in mild climates
- Beam/bracketless: $18–$35; no frame to ice-up, better in snow/rain
- Hybrid: $20–$40; beam durability with traditional aerodynamics
- Winter blades: $15–$30; rubber boot prevents ice accumulation
Replacement guideline: Replace wiper blades every 6–12 months or when you notice streaking, skipping, or squeaking. In high-rainfall or snow-heavy regions, annual replacement before the wet season is recommended. Never run wipers on a dry windshield — it damages both the blade and the glass.
