Wipers are selected by length and attachment. Length runs from one end of the blade to the other; the attachment joins it to the metal arm.

Attachment: a close-up photo
What to do, step by step
Measure each blade
Measure end to end along the blade. Write the left and right lengths separately in millimetres, for example 650 mm and 400 mm. These are measurement examples, not a recommendation for your car.
Photograph the attachment
Photograph the blade-to-arm joint from the side. U-hook means a curved hook; other attachments also exist. Do not assume the type from the car name alone.
Send the details
Send the vehicle, both lengths and the attachment photo. Rear wipers are selected separately. Confirm whether the offer includes one blade or a pair.
More detail and common mistakes
- Record the driver and passenger blade lengths separately. Check the rear blade if needed; a front set normally does not identify it.
- Photograph the arm attachment. Even U-hook comes in different sizes. Confirm whether the required adapter is included.
- For winter use, check the manufacturer's temperature range and instructions. Do not operate blades frozen to the glass. Removing ice and cleaning the glass helps prevent damage.
