MATCH THE CAR, NOT JUST THE LENGTH.
The most reliable way to find the right wiper blades is to select your exact make, model, year or series and body style in a vehicle application catalogue. Confirm whether you need the driver, passenger, rear or complete set, then check the connector where a vehicle has a known changeover.
A blade size such as 600 mm describes length. It does not tell you whether the blade locks onto the arm, belongs on the driver side or follows the intended sweep path. Two blades can be the same length and still be different fitments.
If you already know your vehicle details, use the Australian wiper blade size guide to browse by make and model.
THE SIX DETAILS THAT DETERMINE FIT.
Make and model
Establishes the base vehicle application. Similar model names can still use different windscreens and arms.
Build year and series
A facelift or new generation can change blade length or connector even when the model name stays the same.
Body style
A hatch, sedan and wagon may share front blades but use different rear blades—or have different fitments throughout.
Blade position
Driver, passenger and rear blades are separate applications. Front pairs are often different lengths.
Arm connector
The blade must lock securely to the arm. Two blades of the same length can use completely different connectors.
Changeover details
Vehicles built around a model change may need a series, build-date or connector check before ordering.
HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT WIPERS.
- 1
Identify the exact vehicle.
Confirm the make, full model name, approximate build year or series and body style. Do not rely on a broad badge name when several generations overlap.
- 2
Choose the blade positions.
Decide whether you need the front pair, the rear blade or a complete front-and-rear kit. Treat the rear as a separate fitment.
- 3
Use the model application.
Select the matching year range, series and body style. Read any facelift, imported-vehicle or build-date qualifier before ordering.
- 4
Cross-check an ambiguous connector.
If two applications meet at your build date, compare the listed connector or arm image with the car. Ask for confirmation rather than guessing.
- 5
Check the new blades before fitting.
Compare the supplied positions and connector with the order details, then follow the instructions for that arm type.

Prowiper matches the blade lengths and connector to the selected vehicle, then sends the connector pre-fitted.
FIND MY EXACT FITMEASURING IS A FALLBACK, NOT THE WHOLE ANSWER.
Measuring the existing blades can help when a catalogue application is unclear, but it should be used with a connector check. A previous owner or workshop may have fitted an incorrect length.
If you need to measure
- Measure the rubber wiping edge from end to end, not the wiper arm.
- Record driver, passenger and rear blades separately.
- Photograph the point where the blade attaches to the arm.
- Keep the blade positions separate; do not assume they are interchangeable.
- Use the measurements to verify a listed vehicle fitment, not to replace it.
TAKE EXTRA CARE AT A MODEL CHANGEOVER.
A registration year is not always enough to distinguish two generations sold in the same period. When the catalogue lists a facelift, chassis code, series or body style, match that qualifier as well as the year.
The same caution applies to privately imported vehicles and cars with replacement wiper arms. If the connector on the vehicle does not match the listed image, stop before fitting and confirm the application.
WIPER FITMENT FAQS.
Can I choose wiper blades using the old blade length?
Length is a useful cross-check, but it is not a complete fitment method. The replacement also needs the correct connector, position and vehicle application. An old blade may itself be the wrong size, especially on a second-hand car.
Are driver and passenger wipers the same size?
Sometimes, but many vehicles use a longer driver-side blade and a shorter passenger-side blade. Use the positions shown for the exact vehicle rather than assuming the longer blade always belongs on a particular side.
Does a rear wiper use the same connector as the front?
Often it does not. Rear blades commonly use a dedicated arm or moulded connector, so search the rear application separately instead of choosing a short front blade by length.
What if my car sits on a year or series changeover?
Confirm the series, body style and build details shown on the vehicle, then compare the arm connector with the listed application. If it is still ambiguous, get the fit confirmed before opening or fitting the blades.
