Volkswagen Transporter Wiper Blades Size Guide

The Volkswagen Transporter is a light commercial van built by Volkswagen across six generations, from the T3 through to the current T6.1, sold as a panel van, window van and passenger van. Most current model Transporters take a 24 inch (600mm) blade on both the driver and passenger sides, though sizes vary by generation and body configuration. Front wiper connector type changes across generations, from J-Hook on the T3 through T5 to Slim Push Button on the T5 Facelift onward, and rear wiper fitment depends on the body style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Volkswagen Transporter take?

Sizes vary significantly by generation and body configuration. Most Transporters from the T5 Facelift (2013) onward take a 24 inch (600mm) blade on both the driver and passenger sides, while earlier models such as the T3 and T4 take smaller front blades down to 19 inches. The exact size can be confirmed against the model year in the tables above.

Does the Volkswagen Transporter have a rear wiper?

It depends on the body configuration. Rear Tailgate models are fitted with a single rear wiper blade, either 16 inches or 18 inches depending on generation. Vans with 2 Rear Doors do not have a rear wiper, since the barn door design does not accommodate one.

What wiper connector does the Volkswagen Transporter use?

Earlier generations including the T3, T4 and T5 use a J-Hook connector, while the T5 Facelift, T6 and T6.1 use a Slim Push Button connector. Owners should confirm their generation before ordering a replacement blade.

What is the difference between Rear Tailgate and 2 Rear Doors Transporter models?

Rear Tailgate models are fitted with a single lift up tailgate at the rear and carry one rear wiper blade. 2 Rear Doors models have a pair of hinged barn doors instead of a tailgate, and this body configuration is not fitted with a rear wiper. Both variants use the same front wiper blades for a given model year.

How often should I replace Volkswagen Transporter wiper blades?

Volkswagen recommends replacing wiper blades roughly every 12 months, or sooner if streaking, skipping or noise appears. Australian conditions including strong UV exposure can shorten this interval, so blades should be inspected regularly.
