For the front, the Focus typically uses 26-inch driver-side and 18-inch passenger-side blades; a 10-inch rear blade is used on hatchback models with a rear wiper.
In detail, the 2017 Ford Focus’ wiper setup is straightforward, but there are variations by market and trim. This article breaks down the correct sizes and blade-style options, plus what to check before buying replacements.
Front wipers: sizes and blade style
Blade lengths
These are the standard lengths used on most 2017 Focus models for the two front blades.
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 18 inches
These sizes cover the typical front-mounted wipers on the 2017 Focus; always verify using the owner's manual or a parts lookup by your VIN for your exact build.
Blade design options
Blade design varies by preference and region. The majority of 2017 Focus models ship with beam-style blades, which provide consistent pressure along the windshield.
- Beam (unified) blades are common for the front on this model
- Conventional/framed blades are still compatible in some cases but may require adapters and may not fit all arm types
When selecting blades, consider climate and driving conditions, and ensure you choose a model compatible with your wiper arms and mounting method.
Rear wiper blade (if applicable)
Most hatchback versions of the 2017 Focus include a rear wiper; sedans may not. The rear blade is typically 10 inches long.
- Rear blade: 10 inches
Double-check your car's rear-wiper requirement in the owner's manual or a parts catalog, as some markets or trims may differ.
Summary
In short, the 2017 Ford Focus generally needs 26" driver-side and 18" passenger-front wiper blades, plus a 10" rear blade on hatchback versions. Most drivers opt for beam-style front blades for best performance, though conventional blades can be used if compatible. Always confirm with your VIN and owner's manual.
