The Buick Encore typically uses 26-inch driver-side and 17-inch passenger-side front wiper blades, with a rear blade around 11 inches. Sizes can vary by model year and region, so check your owner's manual or measure your existing blades to be certain.
Front wiper blade sizes by model year
These are common front blade lengths for the Buick Encore front windshield. Use these as a starting point and verify for your exact year and trim.
- 2013–2016 Encore: Driver’s side blade around 26 inches; passenger-side around 17 inches.
- 2017–2019 Encore (non-GX): Driver’s side 26 inches; passenger-side 17 inches.
- 2020–2022 Encore (later models, some markets): Driver’s side 26 inches; passenger-side 18 inches in certain trims (verify).
Note: Encore GX and some regional variants may use different front blade sizes. When in doubt, confirm with the VIN or consult the owner's manual.
Rear wiper blade size
The rear wiper blade on Buick Encore is a smaller blade. The typical length is about 11 inches, though a few years or markets may use 12 inches. Always confirm for your specific vehicle.
- Most Buick Encore models use an 11-inch rear blade.
- Some years or markets may use 12 inches; verify before purchase.
When replacing the rear blade, ensure the mounting style matches your car’s tailgate to avoid fit issues.
How to confirm your exact blade size
Use a simple verification process to ensure you buy the correct blades for your car:
- Consult the owner's manual wiper section for the exact size for your model year and trim.
- Measure the current blade with the wiper arm in the park position, end to end.
- If uncertain, contact a Buick dealership or auto parts retailer with your vehicle’s year, make, model, trim, and VIN for precise recommendations.
Tip: If you replace front blades as a pair, ensure both blades are the correct length to provide even pressure and optimal wiping performance.
Summary: For most Buick Encore models, plan on a 26-inch driver-side front blade and a 17-inch passenger-side front blade, with an 11-inch rear blade. Variations exist by year, trim, and region (including the Encore GX, which is a separate model). Always verify using the owner's manual, measurement, or dealer to ensure a perfect fit for your exact vehicle.
