How to verify the correct size
Before buying replacements, use these steps to confirm exact blade lengths for your car:
- Check the owner’s manual or the placard inside the driver’s door jamb for blade size specifications.
- Inspect your current wipers for printed size marks (e.g., 26" or 24") on the blade itself or packaging.
- Measure the blade length if needed: remove the blade, lay it flat, and measure from the blade base to the tip.
- Use your year/make/model and trim when shopping at a parts retailer or online to ensure compatibility.
- Replace wiper blades in matching pairs to ensure even wear and performance.
Proper verification helps ensure you get the right fit and reliable performance in any weather.
