Windshield Wiper Size

Windshield wipers are vitally important car parts as their working directly affects visibility of a car driver. If you have recently noticed that your windshield wiper arm or blade needs a replacement, it is but natural that you look for the correct windshield wiper size that fits your car model. In this article, I talk about various windshield wiper sizes available in the market for different car models.

A car model being an assembly line product, has every part tailor made to fit in with the rest of the structure. Rarely do car parts of one model and brand fit any other, unless they are of the same manufacturer. That is why you need to know the right windshield wiper size for your car model when it's in need of replacement.

It is often at the start of winter that we realize that the windshield wiper is not working. On inspection, if you find that the wiper is cracked or is bent beyond repair, then you should prepare for wiper replacement.

Choosing Right Windshield Wiper Size
Windshield wipers come in many different designs and sizes. Standard windshield wiper sizes are 20" (inches) to 22" (inches). You cannot just look at a wiper and decide that it is the right size for your car windshield. You have to know the measurements of the windshield wiper. Either measure your old wiper arm for size, or refer your car manual. Car manuals do have detailed information about which would be the right windshield wiper size. Check it out before you hit the nearest car shop for a replacement. Help can also be found in form of the windshield wiper size chart which I provide below. Three things that will decide the right windshield wiper size for your car is your car model, the date of launch of that model and the type of wiper (passenger, driver or rear).
