Front wipers are 26 inches on the driver's side and 17 inches on the passenger side. The 2012 Scion tC generally does not have a rear wiper in the U.S. market.
Front wiper blade sizes
The two front blades for a 2012 Scion tC come in two standard measurements to fit the vehicle’s arms and provide full coverage across the windshield.
- Driver's side: 26 inches
- Passenger side: 17 inches
These sizes apply to most U.S.-spec 2012 Scion tC models; always verify by measuring or checking the owner's manual if you have a different regional model or aftermarket fitment.
Regional variations and verification
In some international markets or with certain trims, blade sizes may differ. If you’re buying blades from a retailer, bring the car’s details (year, make, model, and trim) or measure the current blades to confirm fit.
Rear wiper status
Note on the rear window: In the U.S. market, the 2012 Scion tC does not come with a rear wiper as standard. Consequently, there is no rear-blade size to replace in that market.
Blade replacement options and tips
When shopping for blades, consider blade type and fitment. Below are common options for the two front blades:
- 26" blade (driver side) — beam or traditional styles available
- 17" blade (passenger side) — beam or traditional styles available
Ensure you choose blades compatible with your car's wiper arms and connector style (bayonet, hook, or pin). If in doubt, bring a reference of the blade size or consult the retailer with your vehicle year, make, model, and trim.
Bottom line: match the blade type to your preference and vehicle connectors, and consider a maintenance schedule that fits your local climate (hot sun, cold winters, or rain-heavy seasons).
Summary
For a 2012 Scion tC, the front wipers are sized 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side. The US-spec tC typically does not have a rear wiper, simplifying maintenance to the front blades. Always confirm sizes before purchasing by checking the owner's manual or measuring the blades on your vehicle.
