Can I use wiper blades of a different size?
Vehicle-specific wiper blades are used for windshields. On some cars, the size of both wiper blades is the same. The two wiper blades are different diameters on various automobiles. In order to clear as much of the windshield as possible, the manufacturer chooses the best-fitting wiper blade size. You will discover that one or both wiper blades will hang over the side or touch the top of the windshield trim while upright if you change your wiper blades with a larger size blade in an effort to clear more space on the windshield. Furthermore, if both windshield wipers are overly lengthy, they could bump into each other and harm the wiper motor, arms, and blades. When the wiper blade isn’t flush with the windshield, this will result in excessive wear on the wiper blades and areas that don’t get cleared.
You will discover that some parts of the windshield are not cleaned if you change your wipers with smaller-sized blades. And some of these locations can be essential for the car to run safely.
Only replace your wiper blades with those of the size recommended by the manufacturer after consulting your owner’s handbook. This will provide a good fit and guard against damage. If you cannot find your owner’s handbook, a blade size finder can be used to quickly determine the wiper blade size.
