Buy Mitsubishi Outlander Windshield Wiper Blades

Mitsubishi Outlander owners need front windshield wiper blades that fit (26 in-24 in driver-side, 17 in-21 in passenger-side) and a 12-in rear blade on most model years. Regularly swapping old rubber every 6-12 months keeps rain, sleet, and road grit from blocking your view. Choosing the right style-conventional, beam, or hybrid-and caring for it with simple cleaning boosts safety, protects the windshield washer motor, and helps you meet legal visibility rules.

‡The Sport (a closely related body style) uses slightly shorter arms.
*Rear-blade length seldom changes; measure old blade or check the owner's manual for exact inches.

• Conventional frame - six to eight pressure points; good for dry climates and light use. (tricoproducts.com)
• Beam blade - one curved spine gives "infinite" contact points, hugging the glass in wind or at highway speeds; ideal for rain-soaked regions.
• Hybrid - a low-profile frame covered by a spoiler; blends beam pressure with frame support.
• Rubber options
  • Natural rubber (quiet swipe but shorter life).
  • Silicone rubber resists UV and heat; brands like Rain-X Silicone AdvantEdge tout four-season durability.

Clear sightlines let you react sooner to hazards. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 104 requires two wipe speeds-45 cpm high, 20 cpm low-to guarantee visibility. (NHTSA) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also urges winter-ready blades and working defrosters before storms. (NHTSA) Failing wipers invite fines (up to £50 in the U.K.) and penalty points. (The Sun)

• Check every 6 months and swap if you see streaks, smears, chattering, or missing rubber. (AAA Oregon/Idaho)
• Outlanders driven in hot sun or salty snow may need fresh blades sooner.
• Pair each change with a windshield washer fluid top-up for best clarity.

1. Lift the wiper arm from the glass.
2. Press the release tab and slide the old blade down the hook.
3. Click the new blade in place; a soft "snap" means it's locked.
4. Gently lower the arm. For guided visuals watch this step-by-step video. (YouTube)
5. Test washers: spray and run wipers for three strokes.

Tip: Consult the Outlander owner's manual (section 6-62) for switch positions. (mitsubishi-motors.co.uk)

• Winter: Ice can freeze blades to glass. Some drivers prop wipers up overnight, yet high winds might bend the arm. Decide based on local weather. (Southern Living)
• Winter blades: Boots cover the frame, shedding snow so the rubber keeps flexing. (Reddit)
• Summer: UV rays dry rubber; park in shade and clean bugs off often.

• Wipe the rubber edge with mild soap and a damp cloth monthly.
• A quick rub with isopropyl alcohol clears oily film.
• Keep washer jets aimed at the glass per NHTSA test spec TP-104-08. (NHTSA)
• For minor squeaks, buff the edge with a clean pencil eraser or follow this 30-second refresh trick.

Many U.S. states require headlights on when wipers run. (NHTSA) Your Outlander's washer-wiper circuit must function for warranty claims under Mitsubishi's maintenance schedule. (Mitsubishi Cars)

A fresh set of properly-sized wiper blades, regular cleaning, and timely replacement are some of the easiest ways to stay safe on the road-rain or shine.
