How do I measure windshield wipers?

My windshield wipers were damaged by some small tree branches the other day and now they need to be replaced—but I have no idea what size to get! How do I measure windshield wipers?

Claire Beaney · Updated on Mar 3, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

I’m so sorry to hear about the damage to your windshield wipers, that’s so unfortunate!

Here’s an easy and quick way to measure windshield wipers:

Lift the wiper blade away from the windshield. Make sure to press the blade to straighten it from its curved position.

Using a measuring tape, measure the wiper length from one end to the other.

Be sure to measure the wiper blades on the driver and passenger sides individually, as they may be different sizes.

It’s definitely worth checking to see if the expenses for your replacement are

covered by your car insurance

. Now is also a good time to look over your policy and double-check it’s the right one for you!

If you end up needing a new

company,

can provide you with competitive quotes in under a minute. Swapping is just as effortless. Jerry takes care of all the paperwork and phone calls and can even assist you in canceling your old policy!

How can I remove myself from my parents' car insurance policy?

I moved from New York to New Orleans, and I want to remove myself from my parents' auto insurance because I've had three at-fault accidents.
