Common front wiper sizes for the 1997 Corolla
The list below reflects the usual configuration for US-spec 1997 Corollas. Blade lengths are measured from tip to tip when installed on the arms.
- Driver’s side blade: 22 inches
- Passenger’s side blade: 18 inches
If your car was imported or uses a different trim, verify by measuring the blades or consulting the manual to confirm the correct lengths.
How to confirm the exact fit for your vehicle
To ensure you select the correct blades for your specific car, follow these steps:
- Check the owner's manual or the door jamb label for the recommended blade lengths.
- Remove one existing blade and measure its length from tip to tip (do not include the connector piece).
- Use a parts retailer's fitment tool or bring the old blades to the store to match the exact sizes for your VIN.
- If buying online, filter results by year, make, and model and verify that the listed lengths match 22 inches (driver) and 18 inches (passenger).
Installing the correct blades ensures proper contact with the windshield and effective wiping in all weather conditions.
Installation tips
When installing new blades, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For many older Toyota models, you’ll pull the old blade away from the arm, depress a small tab, slide on the new blade, and ensure the connector snaps into place.

The 1997 Toyota Corolla commonly uses 22-inch driver-side and 18-inch passenger-side wiper blades in the US market. Always verify based on your exact vehicle by checking the manual, measuring the current blades, or using a retailer fitment tool.
