Abarth 695 Wiper Blade Sizes

This guide helps you choose the right windscreen wiper blades for your Abarth 695. It covers the two body styles and the sizes for each side. You do not need to know anything about wipers to use it. Just match your car to the details here and you will get blades that fit and work properly.

Wiper sizes can differ between generations of the same car. That is why it is important to check which generation you have before buying. The sizes for the driver side and passenger side are listed for each generation, and a rear size is given where there is a rear wiper. Using the wrong size can lead to poor wiping and may damage your wiper arm.

To use this guide, first work out which generation your Abarth 695 is. Then look at the sizes for your generation. Each side has its own size, so make sure you match them correctly. If you are unsure, check your car's handbook or look at the current blades. The guide also includes tips on when to replace blades and how to care for them.

Abarth 695 wiper sizes for each generation

For the Abarth 695 Convertible made from 2013 to 2023, the driver side wiper blade is 24 inch (600 mm) and the passenger side is 13 inch (325 mm). There is no rear wiper listed for this generation. When fitting new blades, make sure the push-button release clicks securely into place on the arm. It is a good idea to lift the arm away from the glass before fitting to avoid damaging the blade.

For the Abarth 695 Hatch built from 2011 to 2023, the driver side wiper blade is 23 inch (575 mm) and the passenger side is 14 inch (350 mm). This generation also has a rear wiper blade of 12 inch (300 mm). Check that each blade is the correct size for its position before fitting. When changing the rear blade, take care to align it properly with the arm.

How to work out which Abarth 695 you have

To work out which generation you have, look at the body style of your Abarth 695. The Convertible has a folding roof, while the Hatch has a fixed roof. The model years overlap, so the body style is the best way to tell them apart. If you are still unsure, check the vehicle identification number or the owner's manual. Once you know the generation, you can find the correct sizes.

When choosing blades, match each side to the sizes given for your generation. The driver side and passenger side often need different lengths, so do not assume they are the same. Also check whether your car has a rear wiper; if it does, use the rear size listed. Buying the correct size for each position ensures proper wiping and avoids strain on the wiper arms.

When to replace your wiper blades

Wiper blades wear out over time and need replacing. Signs include streaking, where the blade leaves lines of water across the windscreen. Smearing is another sign, where the blade spreads a film instead of clearing the glass. Squeaking or juddering as the blade moves can also mean the rubber is worn or damaged. If you see any of these, it is time for new blades.

Check the rubber part of the blade regularly. If it is split, cracked, or missing pieces, it will not clear the glass properly. Poor visibility in rain is dangerous, so do not delay replacing worn blades. Even if the blade looks fine, it may have hardened and lost its ability to wipe cleanly. Replacing them is a quick job that makes a big difference to safety.

Worn wiper blades can reduce your view of the road, especially in heavy rain or spray from other vehicles. This increases the risk of an accident. Good blades clear the glass quickly and quietly, helping you see clearly. Make checking your blades part of your routine car care, and replace them as soon as you notice any problems.

Looking after your wipers

To look after your wipers, clean the glass regularly with a proper glass cleaner. Dirt and grime on the windscreen can wear down the rubber blades faster. Also wipe the blades themselves with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Sun and dust can dry out and crack the rubber over time, so parking in the shade helps. Lifting the arms off the glass when washing the car prevents damage.

Check your washer fluid regularly and top it up when needed. Good washer fluid helps clear the screen and reduces wear on the blades. When lifting the wiper arms, do it gently and avoid letting them snap back onto the glass, which can crack it or damage the blades. If you notice the blades are not cleaning well, clean them first before assuming they need replacing.

Wiper blade tips

• Always check your wiper blades before the rainy season starts.
• Clean your windscreen and blades regularly to help them last longer.
• Park in the shade to protect the rubber from sun damage.
• Lift the wiper arms carefully when cleaning the glass.
• Top up washer fluid with a good quality screen wash.
• Replace blades in pairs if they are worn, for even performance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which generation my Abarth 695 is?

Look at the body style: the Convertible has a folding roof, the Hatch has a fixed roof. The model years overlap, so the body style is the easiest way to tell. If unsure, check your owner's manual or the vehicle identification number.

Can I use the same size blade on both sides?

No, the driver and passenger sides often need different sizes. For the Convertible, the driver side is 24 inch and the passenger side is 13 inch. For the Hatch, they are 23 inch and 14 inch. Always match each side to the correct size.

Does the Abarth 695 Hatch have a rear wiper?

Yes, the Hatch generation has a rear wiper blade of 12 inch (300 mm). The Convertible does not have a rear wiper listed. Check your car to confirm if it has a rear wiper before buying.

How often should I replace my wiper blades?

There is no set time, but you should replace them when you notice streaking, smearing, squeaking, or visible damage to the rubber. Even if they look fine, blades can wear out after months of use. Check them regularly, especially before rainy seasons.

What does a push-button wiper arm mean?

It means the blade has a small push button that releases it from the end of your wiper arm. This makes changing the blade quick and easy. Just press the button and slide the old blade off, then click the new one into place.

Can I replace just one wiper blade?

Yes, you can replace one blade at a time. However, if both are worn, it is often better to replace them together for even wiping. If one side is damaged but the other is fine, you can replace only the damaged one.
