How to Choose the Right Size Wiper Blades

Choosing the right size wiper blades is easier than it seems. Here’s a comprehensive guide with multiple methods, from the quickest to the most precise.

There are 4 Best Methods for information :

Method 1: The Gold Standard - Check Your Vehicle's Owner's Manual

Your car's owner's manual is the definitive source for this information. Manufacturers almost always include a section on wiper blade replacement that specifies the exact sizes. Look in the index for "Wiper Blades" or "Maintenance."

Method 2: The Practical Method - Measure Your Old Blades

If your current wiper blades are the correct size and just worn out, simply measure them.

• Park your car and turn off the ignition.

• Lift the wiper blade arms away from the windshield (be careful not to let them snap back).

• Use a flexible tape measure and measure the rubber blade itself from one end to the other end.

Measure in inches: The U.S. standard is inches (e.g., 16", 22", 26"). You can round to the nearest whole inch.

Note the sizes separately: The driver's side (often longer) and passenger's side are usually different sizes. Write them down.

Method 3: The Easy Button - Use an Online Lookup Tool

This is the most common and convenient method today.

Go to the website of any major auto parts retailer , Xiong Shun Automobile Material (Xiamen) Co.,Ltd. www.shown-wiper.com is the good choice.

Navigate to their "Wiper Blade" section.Use their vehicle selector tool:

Select your Vehicle's Year

Select your Vehicle's Make (e.g., Honda, Ford, Toyota)

Select your Vehicle's Model (e.g., Civic, F-150, Camry)

Often, you'll need to select the specific options (e.g., if you have a rear wiper blade or not).

The website will instantly display all compatible wiper blades and their sizes.

Method 4: Ask for Help at an Auto Parts Store

If you go to a physical store, the staff can use the same lookup tool behind the counter. Just know your vehicle's year, maker, and model. They can often even install them for you for free.
