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. ## Sources - [Mopar/AMSOIL OE lookup, 2013 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L oil spec](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2013/jeep/wrangler/3-6l-6-cyl-engine-code-g-erb-h/) - [WranglerForum, 3.6L oil capacity (owner's manual quotes, 6 qt)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/answers/how-many-quarts-of-oil-does-a-jeep-wrangler-3-6-take/) - [WranglerForum, Mopar 3.6L oil filter part numbers (spin-on vs. cartridge)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/mopar-3-6l-oil-filters-difference.1640369/) - [ChallengerTalk, Pentastar 3.6L spark plug part number/gap (Champion RER8ZWYCB4 / Mopar SP149125AD)](https://www.challengertalk.com/threads/spark-plug-replacement-for-3-6l-pentastar.213266/) - [WranglerForum, Rubicon Dana 44 rear diff fluid (75W-140 Mopar synthetic)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/diff-oil-gear-oil-for-rubicon-dana-44-rear.2413691/) - [WranglerForum, JK oil-change light reset procedure (accelerator-pedal method)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/oil-change-notification-reset.147085/) - [au7o.io, 3.6L Pentastar oil cooler/filter housing cracking (2012-2025)](https://au7o.io/known-issues/jeep-wrangler) - [Edmunds, 2012 Jeep Wrangler specs (fuel tank, curb weight)](https://www.edmunds.com/jeep/wrangler/2012/features-specs/) - [Car and Driver, 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD 2dr specs/EPA mpg](https://www.caranddriver.com/jeep/wrangler/specs/2012/jeep_wrangler_jeep-wrangler-2-door_2012) - [ExtremeTerrain, Jeep Wrangler JK factory tire sizes by trim](https://www.extremeterrain.com/jeep-wrangler-tire-size-guide.html) ## Other Jeep Wrangler generations - [2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2018-2025/wipers) Or [compare all generations](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/wipers). ## More for the 2012-2017 Jeep Wrangler - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/tires) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
