The front windshield wipers on a 2011 Buick Enclave use a 24-inch blade on the driver’s side and a 20-inch blade on the passenger side. The rear window wiper uses an 11-inch blade. These sizes cover the typical replacement needs for this model year.
Front windshield wiper blade sizes
Below are the standard sizes you’ll commonly replace for the Enclave’s front wipers. When shopping, verify connector type and blade style to match your vehicle.
- Driver-side blade: 24 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 20 inches
When replacing the front blades, consider the blade style (traditional frame, beam, or hybrid) and winter-rated options if you live in a region with snow and icy conditions. Using the correct lengths ensures full coverage and effective clearing of the windshield.
Rear windshield wiper blade size
The rear window on the 2011 Buick Enclave uses a single wiper blade in addition to the fronts.
- Rear blade: 11 inches
If you need to replace the rear blade, confirm the 11-inch size and check the connector type to ensure a proper fit. If you’re unsure, consult the owner's manual or measure the existing blade before purchasing.
How to replace wiper blades
Replacing wiper blades is a quick DIY task. Follow these steps to swap out both front blades and, if needed, the rear blade.
- Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield and locate the blade’s release mechanism (usually a small tab or button).
- Press or lift the release tab and slide the old blade away from the wiper arm’s connector.
- Align the new blade with the arm’s connector and slide it into place until you hear/feel it click securely.
- Gently lay the wiper arm back on the windshield and test the wipe to confirm full contact and no skipping or streaking.
Note: Wiper arms are under spring tension. Handle them carefully to avoid damage or injury during replacement.
Summary
For a 2011 Buick Enclave, the standard front wiper blade sizes are 24 inches on the driver’s side and 20 inches on the passenger side, with an 11-inch rear blade.
