The rear wiper blade on the current Jeep Cherokee is typically 11 inches long.
The Jeep Cherokee has gone through several generations, and blade sizes can vary by year and market. The KL-generation Cherokee (introduced in 2014 and sold through recent years) uses an 11-inch rear wiper blade. If you own an older Cherokee or a regional variant, the size may differ. To confirm, check the owner's manual, consult the official Jeep parts catalog for your VIN, or measure the blade yourself.
Current Cherokee rear wiper size and how to verify
These guidelines help you confirm the exact size before you buy a replacement blade.
- Check the owner's manual for the exact rear window wiper blade specification.
- Look up the part number in the official Jeep parts catalog or dealer system using your VIN (vehicle identification number).
- Remove the existing blade and measure its length from tip to tip along the blade edge to get the correct measurement in inches.
In practice, most KL-generation Cherokees will use an 11-inch blade, but length can vary with regional specs or specific trim packages. Verifying with one of the methods above will prevent ordering an incorrect size.
Replacement quick guide
Here are straightforward steps to replace the rear wiper blade once you have the correct size.
- Lift the rear wiper arm away from the glass until it stays elevated.
- Locate and depress the release tab on the blade holder to release the old blade.
- Slide the old blade out and slide in the new 11-inch blade, ensuring it clicks into place.
- Lower the wiper arm back to the glass and test the sweep to ensure full coverage.
Following the exchange, wipe the tailgate area to ensure the new blade sits cleanly on the glass and checks its performance at different speeds and weather conditions.
Summary
The rear wiper blade on the current Jeep Cherokee is typically 11 inches, especially in the KL-generation models from 2014 onward. Always verify with your manual or dealer resources if you’re dealing with a different year or regional variant, and use a measured or catalog-verified size to ensure a proper fit.
