The Tesla Model 3 uses 26-inch driver-side and 19-inch passenger-side front wiper blades. The rear wiper is not standard on most US-market vehicles.
Front wiper blade sizes
The following list captures the typical front blade lengths used on most recent Model 3 builds. These two lengths account for the driver and passenger sides.
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches (66 cm)
- Passenger-side blade: 19 inches (48 cm)
When replacing, many owners opt for beam-style (frameless) blades for smoother contact with the windshield and better streak-free performance. Always verify the exact sizes for your VIN in the Tesla parts catalog or owner’s manual.
Blade types and replacement options
Before shopping, decide on blade construction and whether you prefer OEM or aftermarket options. The following considerations guide a typical replacement decision set.
- Beam-style blades (frameless) are widely recommended for the Model 3 due to their consistent glide across the curved windshield.
- Conventional framed blades are available as alternatives, but may require adapters or specific fitment in some trims.
- Popular aftermarket options include brands such as Bosch, Valeo, and Rain-X; ensure you purchase the correct lengths (26" and 19") for your vehicle.
Regardless of brand, confirm compatibility with your model year and check for any necessary adapters or connectors for the Tesla wiper arms.
Market variations and rear wiper considerations
In many markets, the Model 3 does not include a rear wiper, especially in the United States. If you are in a region where a rear wiper is fitted, the rear blade is typically much shorter (around 10 inches) and should be selected to match your vehicle’s rear window geometry. Always consult your owner’s manual or a Tesla parts catalog to confirm the exact rear blade size for your car.
Summary
For most Model 3 owners, front wipers use 26-inch driver-side and 19-inch passenger-side blades, with beam-style blades being a popular choice for improved performance. Verify exact lengths for your year and market, and consult Tesla’s parts catalog or your owner’s manual to ensure proper fitment. If your vehicle has a rear wiper in your market, its blade size will be smaller and specific to that configuration.
