Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Ford Explorer take?
The Ford Explorer UN to US (1996-2001) takes a 20 inch (500mm) blade on both the driver and passenger sides. The UT to UZ (2001-2008) takes a longer 22 inch (550mm) driver blade with the same 20 inch (500mm) passenger blade.
Does the Ford Explorer have a rear wiper?
Yes, the Ford Explorer is fitted with a rear wiper blade. The rear blade is 14 inches (350mm) on the UN to US and 16 inches (400mm) on the UT to UZ. Owners should replace all three blades at the same time for consistent visibility.
What wiper connector does the Ford Explorer use?
The Ford Explorer uses a J-hook connector on both front wiper arms across both generations listed. The hook at the end of the arm passes through the blade adaptor and clicks into place.
Did the Ford Explorer rear wiper change size between generations?
Yes, the UN to US Explorer uses a 14 inch (350mm) rear blade, while the UT to UZ uses a longer 16 inch (400mm) rear blade. Owners should confirm their series before ordering a rear blade.
How often should I replace Ford Explorer wiper blades?
Ford Explorer wiper blades should be replaced around every 12 months. As both generations are now older vehicles, worn wiper arm springs can reduce blade pressure, so arm tension is worth checking if new blades still streak.
