Additional considerations
Rear wiper: The 2012 Cruze sedan generally does not have a rear window wiper; some hatchback or region-specific versions may differ. If your model includes a rear wiper, consult the manual or dealer for the correct size and replacement method.
How to verify or replace your blades
To ensure you get the correct blades, you can:
- Check the door jamb sticker or owner's manual for recommended sizes.
- Measure the existing blades from end-to-end when they are in the resting position.
- Compare to aftermarket blades labeled as compatible with the 2012 Cruze (26"/24").
After installation, test each blade to ensure full contact with the windshield and smooth operation at both low and high speeds.
