The front wiper blades are typically 22 inches on both the driver and passenger sides, while the rear blade is about 12 inches. This article explains the standard sizes and how to verify them for your specific vehicle configuration.
Front wiper blade sizes
The Traverse uses two 22-inch front blades to cover the windshield span for most markets and trims. This size matches the arm length and blade sweep on the 2020 model.
- Driver-side front blade: 22 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 22 inches
These measurements cover the standard configuration for a 2020 Traverse. If your vehicle is in a different market or has a slightly different windshield setup, sizes may vary by a small amount; always verify before purchase.
Notes on compatibility
Some regional or dealer-specific packages may use slightly different blades, but 22 inches is the common front-size for US-spec 2020 Traverse models.
Rear wiper blade size
The rear wiper on the 2020 Traverse is a shorter blade, typically around 12 inches. Some regional configurations may use a 13-inch rear blade, so double-check your specific vehicle if you notice a mismatch.
- Rear blade: 12 inches (most common)
Rear blade sizes can differ by market or model year but 12 inches is the standard for the US-spec 2020 Traverse. Always confirm with the owner's manual or a parts lookup if you travel internationally or own a unique trim.
Notes on rear blade variations
If you replace the rear blade yourself, ensure you purchase the correct end-cap and attachment type for your vehicle’s tailgate hinge and blade arm.
How to confirm the exact size for your vehicle
To ensure you buy the right blades for your exact 2020 Traverse, follow these verification steps:
- Consult the owner's manual for the exact blade lengths specified for your trim and market.
- Check the blade currently on your vehicle for length and attachment type, often printed on the blade itself or on the packaging when replaced previously.
- Use a reputable parts retailer’s lookup tool by entering the year, make, model, and trim or VIN to confirm the blade sizes.
- Measure the length of the existing blades if you’re unsure, using a flexible tape to measure from end to end along the blade edge.
By following these steps, you’ll avoid ordering the wrong blade size and ensure proper fit and performance. If in doubt, a quick visit to a local auto parts store or dealer can confirm the exact blade lengths for your vehicle's configuration.
Summary
For most 2020 Chevy Traverse models, plan on front blades of 22 inches each and a rear blade of about 12 inches. Always verify with the owner’s manual, the vehicle’s VIN-based parts lookup, or by measuring the existing blades to account for regional differences or trim-specific variations.
