The rear window wiper blade on most Fiat 500 models is 11 inches (about 28 cm). However, some variants such as larger or newer models may use different sizes, so it’s best to verify for your exact vehicle by checking the owner’s manual, inspecting the current blade, or using a parts lookup. This article outlines the typical size and how to confirm yours.
Typical size for the Fiat 500 rear window
Common configurations are listed below. The sizes refer to the rear blade length in inches (and centimeters). Always confirm for your specific model/year, especially if you own a 500L or 500X, which can deviate from the standard.
- Fiat 500 (classic hatch, 2007–2020): rear wiper blade typically 11 inches (28 cm).
- Fiat 500C (convertible): rear wiper blade typically 11 inches (28 cm).
- Fiat 500L and 500X variants: blade sizes can vary by year and trim; verify with the owner's manual or retailer using your exact model/year or by measuring the current blade.
To confirm your exact size, measure the current blade or use a reputable parts catalog by entering your model year and trim.
How to measure or replace the rear wiper blade
Use these steps to measure and replace a rear wiper blade on the Fiat 500 reliably.
- Park the car on a level surface and turn off the engine. Lift the wiper arm away from the window until it locks in an accessible position.
- Remove the blade by pressing the release tab or mechanism at the blade’s connector and sliding the blade out of the arm.
- Measure the blade’s length with a ruler or tape measure from tip to base, or compare with standard blade lengths listed in catalogs.
- Install a replacement blade of the same length and compatible attachment type (likely a small, square, or J-hook connection). Reconnect the arm and gently lower the blade onto the window to ensure proper contact.
Ensuring the correct size will help maintain visibility in rain and snow and extend blade life.
Summary
For most Fiat 500 rear windows, the standard blade is 11 inches (28 cm). Always verify for your specific model year and variant (especially 500L or 500X) by checking the owner’s manual or a trusted parts retailer, or by measuring the current blade. Regular checks and timely replacement keep rear visibility clear and safe.
