Toyota Highlander wiper blades: common questions
What size wiper blades does a Toyota Highlander take?
- 26 inches on the driver's side and 18 inches on the passenger's side, plus a 10-inch rear blade.
Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a Toyota Highlander?
- 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 Toyota Highlander use?
- Passenger blade shrank from the XU50's 20-in to 18-in. Don't reuse the old size. Hook-style arms.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
