Front Wiper Blade Sizes
These are the standard front blade lengths usually found on the 2017 Cherokee. Exact sizes can vary by trim or market, so confirm before buying.
- Driver’s side: 24 inches
- Passenger’s side: 17 inches
Note that some aftermarket kits may offer different pairings or adapters, but 24"/17" is the common configuration for most 2017 Cherokee models. Always double-check for your specific vehicle by checking the driver's door jamb sticker or the owner's manual.
Rear Wiper Size
The rear wiper blade on most 2017 Cherokee models is typically 11 inches, though some trims or markets may vary. Confirm the exact size on the hatch or in the manual if you’re unsure.
- Rear: 11 inches
If your Cherokee doesn’t have a rear wiper (some base configurations or regional variants may differ), this size note may not apply. Always verify for your exact vehicle a.s.a.p.
How to Verify the Correct Size
When in doubt, use these quick methods to confirm the exact blade size for your 2017 Cherokee before purchase.
- Check the label on the driver’s door jamb, which usually lists recommended blade sizes
- Consult the owner's manual under the Wipers/Blade section
- Remove the current blade and measure its length with a tape measure
Once you know the size, ensure you buy blades that match the attachment style (hook, pin, or side-lock) used by your wiper arms.
Replacement Tips
Helpful pointers to ensure a smooth replacement and proper fit.
- Choose reputable brands (e.g., Bosch, Rain‑X, Valeo) for better performance and fit
- Use the correct size and attachment type for both blades
- Install the new blades by lifting the wiper arm, removing the old blade, and snapping the new one into place, then gently lower the arm back
Avoid forcing blades onto arms or leaving wipers in a locked position on hot days, which can damage the blades or arms. Regular checks help maintain clear visibility.
Summary
For a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, the typical front wiper sizes are 24 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side, with an 11-inch rear wiper.
