2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler Wiper Blade Sizes

Which Jeep Wrangler model years does this cover?

These wiper blades specifications apply to every Jeep Wrangler built from 2012 through 2017 — the JK (2007–2018 platform; US 2012–2017 shown), off-road suv, solid front/rear axle (2-door; 4-door unlimited). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What size wiper blades does a 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler take?

15 inches on the driver's side and 15 inches on the passenger's side, plus a 12-inch rear blade.

Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler?

Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.

What wiper connector does a 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler use?

Sources disagree slightly (14 vs. 15 vs. 16 in front) depending on chart vs. what's actually on the car. 15/15 front with a 12-in rear blade is the most consistent factory figure across the 2012–2017 run.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
