The Toyota Starlet is a compact hatchback that was one of Toyota's smallest models sold in Australia before being succeeded by the Yaris. The Starlet (1996-1999) takes a 20 inch (500mm) blade on the driver side and a 16 inch (400mm) blade on the passenger side, with the earlier generation using a slightly larger passenger blade. Front wipers use a hook-style connector, and both generations are fitted with a rear wiper as standard. Find your vehicle year in the table below.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Toyota Starlet take?

The Toyota Starlet takes a 20 inch (500mm) driver side blade across both the EP82 and EP91 generations. The passenger side differs slightly, with the EP82 (1990 to 1995) using a 17 inch (425mm) blade and the EP91 (1996 to 1999) using a 16 inch (400mm) blade. Matching the correct model year ensures an accurate fit.

Does the Toyota Starlet have a rear wiper?

Yes, the Toyota Starlet is fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard on both the EP82 and EP91 generations. Both use a 16 inch (400mm) rear blade, sold separately from the front pair. Owners should replace all three blades together for consistent visibility.

What wiper connector does the Toyota Starlet use?

The Toyota Starlet uses a hook style connector on the front wipers across both generations. This standard fitting makes replacement simple without needing extra adaptors. Checking the connector type before ordering helps avoid fitment issues.

What is the difference between the EP82 and EP91 Starlet?

The EP82 Starlet (1990 to 1995) and EP91 Starlet (1996 to 1999) share the same platform but use a slightly different passenger side wiper blade length due to changes made between facelifts. Both models remain popular as lightweight project cars in Australia. Owners should confirm their exact model year before buying replacement blades.

How often should I replace Toyota Starlet wiper blades?

Toyota recommends replacing wiper blades every 6 to 12 months, depending on how often the vehicle is driven and its exposure to sunlight. Older Starlet models may have hardened or perished rubber if the blades have not been replaced recently. Regular checks help keep the windscreen clear in wet weather.
