Front windshield wiper sizes
These are the standard lengths used on most 2011 Elements with the two-front-blade setup.
- Driver-side: 22 inches
- Passenger-side: 21 inches
Verify the lengths on your specific vehicle by checking the current blades, the owner's manual, or the packaging of replacement blades. If you see different numbers, measure to be sure before purchase.

Rear blade dimensions can vary slightly by aftermarket options; measure or check the existing blade if unsure.
How to verify sizes and replace blades
To ensure you buy the correct replacements, follow these steps to confirm sizes and install them properly.
- Check the owner’s manual or the current blade for the length printed on the blade or packaging.
- Measure the blade length from tip to tip with a tape measure if you’re unsure.
- Buy blades that match the measured lengths and confirm mounting type (hook, pin, or bayonet) before checkout.
After installation, test the wipers to ensure full sweep without streaks or gaps and that there’s no interference with the hood or windshield frame.
Notes on variations and installation tips
Some aftermarket blades may use slightly different lengths or mounting systems. Here are tips to avoid issues.
Mounting and compatibility
