Toyota Corolla Wiper Blade Sizes

This guide is for everyday Toyota Corolla owners who want to replace their windscreen wiper blades without the guesswork. It covers every generation listed here, from the newest hatch through to the older liftback. For each one you will find the driver side and passenger side sizes, and the rear size where your car has a rear wiper. Everything is written in plain Australian English, so you can read it quickly and get on with the job.

Wiper sizes differ between generations, and they can also differ between body styles within the same generation. A sedan, hatch, wagon or liftback may each need a different combination. That is why it pays to match your car carefully rather than assuming one set fits all. The sizes below are listed generation by generation so you can find yours and order the correct blades for each side.

To use the guide, first work out which generation you have, then look at the body style that matches your car. Read the driver side and passenger side sizes, and check whether a rear size is listed. Take your time, double-check the year range, and match each side separately. If you are unsure, it is always better to confirm before you buy than to fit a blade that is the wrong length.

Toyota Corolla wiper sizes for each generation

For this hatch, the driver side takes a 28 inch (700 mm) blade and the passenger side takes a 14 inch (350 mm) blade. There is also a rear wiper, which uses a 12 inch (300 mm) blade. Fit the driver side first and check that the blade sits flat against the glass before moving to the other side. Take a moment to make sure each blade is clipped on securely before you lower the arm.

This sedan uses a 28 inch (700 mm) blade on the driver side and a 14 inch (350 mm) blade on the passenger side. There is no rear wiper listed for this body style.

This hatch takes a 26 inch (650 mm) blade on the driver side and a 14 inch (350 mm) blade on the passenger side. The rear wiper uses an 8 inch (200 mm) blade.

For this sedan, the driver side uses a 24 inch (600 mm) blade and the passenger side uses a 16 inch (400 mm) blade. No rear wiper is listed for this body style. When you fit the new blades, press them firmly until you feel them click into place, then give each one a gentle tug to confirm it is secure before you lower the arm.

This sedan needs a 26 inch (650 mm) blade on the driver side and a 16 inch (400 mm) blade on the passenger side. There is no rear wiper for this body style.

How to work out which Toyota Corolla you have

Start by working out which generation your Corolla belongs to. The year range is the easiest clue, and the code in brackets helps confirm it. Then look at the body style, because a sedan, hatch, wagon or liftback can each use different sizes. Check the badge or your rego papers if you are unsure, and match the year range carefully before you order anything.

Once you know your generation and body style, match each side separately. The driver side and passenger side are often different lengths, so do not assume they are the same. Read the driver side size, then the passenger side size, and note the rear size only if one is listed for your car. Ordering each side correctly is the simplest way to get a clean, even sweep.

When to replace your wiper blades

Worn wiper blades show up in a few common ways. You might see streaks or smears left across the glass, or hear squeaking or juddering as the blades move. The rubber itself may look split, cracked or ragged along the edge. Any of these signs means the blades are no longer doing their job properly and it is time to replace them.

Good visibility in rain matters for safe driving. When blades smear or streak, they leave water behind and make it harder to see the road, other cars and pedestrians. That is especially risky in heavy rain or at night. Replacing worn blades is a simple job that makes a real difference to how clearly you can see.

Do not wait for a storm to notice the problem. Check your blades regularly and replace them when they start to look or sound tired. A clean sweep across the windscreen gives you confidence behind the wheel, and it helps you react sooner when conditions change. Fresh blades are one of the easiest safety improvements you can make.

Looking after your wipers

Look after your wipers and they will look after you. Clean the glass regularly so the blades are not dragging over grit and dust. Wipe the rubber edge with a damp cloth now and then to remove built-up grime. Sun and dust wear rubber over time, so a little care helps the blades last longer and sweep more cleanly.

When you wash the car, lift the arms off the glass gently and support them while you clean. Never let an arm snap back onto the windscreen, as that can damage the glass. Check your washer fluid too, and top it up so you can clear the screen when you need to. A quick check now and then keeps everything working well.

Wiper blade tips

• Match the driver side and passenger side separately.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which generation my Corolla is?

Check the year range and the code in brackets, then confirm the body style. Your rego papers or the badge on the car can help. Match the year range carefully before you order, and if you are unsure, confirm the details first.

Why are the driver and passenger sizes different?

The two sides are often different lengths, and the sizes differ between generations and body styles. That is why you should match each side separately rather than assuming one size fits both. Read the driver side and passenger side sizes for your car.

Does my Corolla have a rear wiper?

Only some body styles have a rear wiper. Check whether a rear size is listed for your generation and body style. If none is listed, your car does not have one, so you only need the front pair.

How often should I replace my wiper blades?

Replace them when you notice streaks, smears, squeaking or juddering, or when the rubber looks split or cracked. Do not wait for a storm to check. A clean sweep across the glass helps you see clearly in the rain.

Can I fit the blades myself?

Yes, fitting is a simple job you can do at home. Lift each arm gently, support it, and press the new blade on until it is secure. Check each side as you go, then test the wipers at low speed.

What should I do if a new blade does not sit flat?

Lift the arm and reseat the blade, making sure it is clipped on properly. Check that nothing is caught under the rubber. If it still does not sit flat, confirm you have the correct size for that side.
