Buy Buick Enclave Windshield Wiper Blades

The Buick Enclave uses mid-size windshield wiper blades-about 24 inches on the driver's side and 21 or 20 inches on the passenger side, plus an 11- to 12-inch rear blade on most models. Experts such as the AAA wiper care guide suggest swapping these window wipers every six months to keep rain, snow, and road film from blocking your view.?Fresh blades, the right washer fluid, and good driving habits-like turning on headlights whenever the wipers are on-work together to keep you safe in bad weather.

• 2008-2017 Enclave (first generation) - 24? driver, 21? passenger, 12? rear. (Wiper Blades USA)

Always double-check the sizes listed in your own Buick Enclave owner's manual before buying new windshield wipers.

• Frame (conventional) - Metal skeleton holds a natural-rubber edge; low cost but can clog with ice.
• Beam (bracket-less) - One curved piece of spring steel for even pressure, great for snow.
• Hybrid - Combines a low-profile shell with a framed center for all-season use.
• Winter - Heavy rubber boot keeps slush out.

These designs must meet the SAE J903 performance standard for wiping 80 % of the swept area without streaks. (SAE International)

The Car Care Council and AAA both recommend inspecting windscreen blades every six months and changing them when they smear, skip, or squeak. (Be Car Care Aware, AAA Oregon/Idaho)

• Streaks or hazy patches after each swipe. (Be Car Care Aware)
• Squeaking or chattering noises in steady rain.
• Cracked or split rubber edge on the squeegee.
• Skipping across the glass at highway speed.

1. Lift the wiper arm until it locks upright.
2. Press the small release tab and slide the old blade off the hook.
3. Slide the new blade on until it "clicks."
4. Lower the arm gently to avoid cracking the windshield.

Buick shows the process in its manual, and a clear how-to video can guide you if it's your first time. (ManualsLib, YouTube)

• In winter, use winter-rated washer fluid and beam or winter blades that resist ice build-up. (National Weather Service)
• In fog or heavy rain, run the defroster with the wipers to keep glass clear, as the National Weather Service advises.
• Snow season calls for brushing loose snow off the blade rubber before turning them on so the motor isn't overloaded. (National Weather Service)

A recent NHTSA bulletin highlights how a faulty wiper arm can cut visibility and increase crash risk, underlining why prompt fixes matter. (NHTSA) Many U.S. states enforce "wipers on, lights on" rules; for example, Pennsylvania requires headlights whenever the windshield wipers are active. (AAA Reading Berks, The US Sun)

• Blade still streaks after replacement? Clean the glass and rubber with mild soap.
• Rear wiper misses a spot? Check that you have the 11? or 12? size discussed on the EnclaveForum.
• Arm chatter at highway speed? Replace worn springs or switch to a beam-style blade for better downforce.

• Safe-driving tips by the National Weather Service keep you ready for winter storms.
• Standard test info in the SAE J903 windshield wiper guide.
• Recall details from the NHTSA bulletin explain why prompt repairs matter.

Keep your Buick Enclave's windshield wiper blades-also called windscreen wipers or window wipers-fresh, clean, and ready, and you'll see the road clearly in every season.
