Aston Martin DBS Wiper Blade Sizes
This guide is for everyday Aston Martin DBS owners who want to know which windscreen wiper blades to buy. It covers the 2007-2012 V12 generation and gives you the driver side and passenger side sizes in both inches and millimetres. You do not need any technical knowledge to use it. Just read the sizes, match them to your car, and you are ready to shop with confidence.
Wiper sizes can differ between generations of the same model, so it is worth checking which generation you have before you buy. This guide lists the sizes for the generation covered here. If your car is a different generation, the sizes may not match. Always confirm the generation first, then match each side separately.
Use the guide by finding your generation in the list below. Note the driver side size and the passenger side size. Buy one blade in each size. Check the fitment notes on the product you choose, and if anything is unclear, ask the retailer before ordering. Take a moment to look at your current blades so you know what you are replacing.

Shop 2007-2012 V12 wiper bladesFor the 2007-2012 V12, the driver side takes a 24 inch (600 mm) blade and the passenger side takes a 20 inch (500 mm) blade. Fit each blade to the correct side so the sweep clears your view properly. Before fitting, lift the wiper arm away from the glass and ease the old blade off the hook or connector. Take care not to let the bare arm snap back onto the windscreen, as that can crack the glass. Wipe the arm clean, then click the new blade firmly into place and lower it gently.
How to work out which Aston Martin DBS you have
Work out which generation you have before anything else. Check the year of your car and the engine badge, then compare that with the generation listed here. If your car falls outside the years shown, the sizes in this guide may not suit it. When in doubt, check your owner's manual or ask your dealer to confirm the generation.
Once you know the generation, match each side on its own. The driver side and passenger side often take different lengths, so do not assume they are the same. Note both sizes, then buy one blade for each side. Fitting the wrong length on one side can leave part of the screen unclear or cause the blades to catch each other.
When to replace your wiper blades
Worn wiper blades show themselves in easy ways. You may see streaks of water left behind after each sweep, or a smear that makes the glass harder to see through. Some blades squeak or judder across the screen. Others leave patches untouched. These are all signs that the rubber has aged and is no longer doing its job.
Look closely at the rubber edge as well. If it is split, cracked, or coming away from the frame, the blade needs replacing. A blade that has lost its flexibility will not press evenly against the curved glass. Even if it still looks whole, a blade that clears poorly in rain is telling you it is worn.
Good visibility matters for safe driving. Rain, spray from other cars, and low light all make a clear screen more important. Blades that streak or smear can hide hazards, especially at night or in heavy weather. Replacing worn blades is a simple step that helps you see the road clearly and drive with more confidence.
Looking after your wipers
Look after your wipers and they will serve you better. Clean the glass regularly so grit and film do not wear the rubber. Wipe the blade edge with a damp cloth now and then to remove dust and dirt. Sun and dust dry out and wear rubber over time, so park in shade where you can.
When you wash the car, lift the wiper arms off the glass to clean underneath them, then lower them gently. Never let an arm snap back onto the screen. Check your washer fluid regularly and top it up, because a good spray helps the blades clear the glass and reduces wear.
