Buy Chevrolet Equinox Windshield Wiper Blades

Chevrolet Equinox windshield wiper blades-also called windshield blades, screen wipers, or windscreen wipers-keep rain, snow, bugs, and road film off the glass so you can see the road. Most Equinoxes use a 24-inch driver-side blade and a 17- or 18-inch passenger blade, plus a small rear blade on hatchback models. Good blades clear the glass in one smooth swipe; bad blades chatter, smear, or squeak. Experts such as the NHTSA and AAA say to clean the rubber often and replace blades about every 6-12 months, sooner in harsh weather. (acg.aaa.com)

A clear windshield is a safety device, just like seat belts or airbags. Blades that smear water can hide hazards and add precious stopping distance in rain or fog. (weather.gov)

• Second-generation Equinox (2010-2017) - 24" driver / 17" passenger; many trim levels also use a 12" rear blade. (wipersize.com)
• Third-generation (2018-2024) - 24" driver / 18" passenger / 13" rear are most common; always confirm in the owner's manual. (manualslib.com)
  Tip: Measure the old blade or check the service section of your owner's manual before you buy.

Replace the blade set every 6-12 months-or sooner if you notice:

• Streaks or missed patches. (parentsautocare.com)
• Chattering, squeaks, or slapping sounds.
• Cracked or split rubber edges.

Hot sun, road salt, or pulling frozen blades off the glass can shorten life.

1. Lift each wiper arm.
2. Wipe the rubber edge with a cloth dipped in washer fluid or mild soap.
3. Rinse the windshield with water; clean stubborn film with a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
4. Keep the washer tank full-never use plain water because it can freeze or grow algae.

• Fog & smoke: Use low-beam headlights, wipers, and the defroster together. (weather.gov)
• Winter: Snow and freezing rain can overload standard blades; switch to winter blades if you drive in heavy snow belts. (weather.gov, yateswrecker.com)
• Rainy states: More than a dozen U.S. states require headlights whenever the wipers are on; tickets can follow if you forget. (ops.fhwa.dot.gov)

Changing Equinox blades takes about five minutes:

1. Lift the arm away from the glass.
2. Press the small latch where the blade meets the J-hook. (manualslib.com)
3. Slide the old blade downward to unhook it.
4. Hook on the new blade until it clicks.
5. Gently lower the arm back onto the windshield.

Use a premixed fluid rated for your coldest local temperature. Never add coolant or water repellents that can cause skipping. (manualslib.com) A splash of NHTSA's windshield-washer safety tips helps you pick the right formula.

Q: What size wiper blades fit my 2015 Equinox?
A: Most 2010-2017 Equinox SUVs take a 24-inch driver and 17-inch passenger blade. (wipersize.com)

Q: Do newer Equinox models use different sizes?
A: Yes. Many 2018-2024 models use a 24-inch driver, 18-inch passenger, and a 13-inch rear blade. Always double-check the owner's manual or measure the old blades. (manualslib.com)

Q: How often should I swap blades?
A: At least once a year, or any time you see streaks, hear squeaks, or feel jerky movement. (acg.aaa.com)

Q: What's the difference between beam and conventional blades?
A: Conventional frames touch the glass in 6-8 spots; beam blades press along the whole length, so they wipe more evenly, especially at highway speed. (tricoproducts.com)

Q: Can I use silicone spray to "revive" old blades?
A: No. Once the rubber edge is cracked or hard, spray treatments only mask the problem for a short time. It's safer to install fresh blades.

Q: Is washer fluid important?
A: Yes. Plain water can freeze or grow bacteria; use a proper fluid and keep it topped off.

Q: Are winter blades worth it?
A: If you drive in heavy snow or ice, winter blades with a sealed frame resist freezing and keep wiping evenly. (yateswrecker.com)

Q: Will I get a ticket if I forget headlights in the rain?
A: In many states you can-laws often say headlights must be on whenever the wipers run. (ops.fhwa.dot.gov)

Q: How do I stop wipers from sticking to a frozen windshield?
A: Lift them off the glass before a storm or park under cover. Never pry them loose; pour lukewarm water on the ice or start the defroster first. (weather.gov)
