Can I use 22 inch wiper blade instead of 24 inch?
Just wondering what wrong can these wipers do to the car glass… Nothing much. 24″ to 22″ won’t cause any issue as the latter is obviously shorter. It could’ve been a problem if it was the other way around.
Do wiper blades have to be exact size?
No. You use the size that fits. Often a little smaller on the rear screen than the front, and fitting a too small blade at the rear is less critical. Note that some cars even have different sized wipers between front left and right.
How do I know what size wipers I need?
First, check your owner’s manual. While typically an OEM does not provide a standard wiper size, your owner’s manual may provide one, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. If that’s not the case, you can either: Using a tape measure, measure your existing wiper blades — driver side, passenger side, and rear.
What is the most common windshield wiper size?
Standard ranges for both passenger and light commercial blades are from about 9” (approximately 225mm) to 28” (approximately 700mm) long. They come in both front and rear varieties. To check the size of your blades: Lift the blades away from the windshield and straighten them (if they’re curved).
What happens if I put wrong size wiper blades on my car?
What happens if you use the wrong size of wiper blades? You should never use wiper blades of size 1-inch longer or shorter than the recommended length. If they are too small, they will not wipe the whole glass. If they are too long, they will overlap, bump and break.
Can I use a 16 wiper blade instead 15?
Size matters to a point, just as long as you are about 1 inch higher or lower than your current wiper blade size. If you buy wiper blades that are too big, they might overlap or touch which will cause them to break.
Can I use a 24 wiper blade instead of a 26?
Wiper blades that are too small will leave large areas of the glass uncleared, and wiper blades that are too large may hit the top windshield trim, causing premature wear. They might also become entangled with each other, which could cause damage to the windshield blades and arms.
What happens if you use the wrong size wiper blade?
What happens if you use the wrong size of wiper blades? You should never use wiper blades of size 1-inch longer or shorter than the recommended length. If they are too small, they will not wipe the whole glass. If they are too long, they will overlap, bump and break.
Do you buy 2 different size wiper blades?
Windshield wiper blades are vehicle specific. On some vehicles, both wiper blades are the same size. On other vehicles, the two wiper blades are different sizes. The optimal wiper blade size is determined by the manufacturer and selected for proper fit to clear as much of the windshield as possible.
How do I know what window wipers to buy?
The numbers you’ll see on the wiper blade box are there to help you choose the right blade quickly – you’ll find the blade product number in your car owner’s manual or on the old blade itself, so you just need to look out for the right code when it comes to replacing!
