What size are Ford Transit wiper blades?
The sizes vary by year and market, so there isn’t a single universal specification. In practice, front blades are commonly 24 inches on the driver’s side and 21 inches on the passenger’s side in North America, while European models more often use 600 mm on the driver’s side and 450 mm on the passenger side; the rear blade is typically about 12 inches. Always verify the exact size for your vehicle using the VIN, the owner's manual, or a Ford parts lookup.
Ford Transit wiper blade sizing has evolved across generations and regions. Differences in blade connectors, mounting adapters, and overall length can occur, meaning a model year or market variant may use a slightly different specification. The following sections help you identify typical sizes and how to confirm the precise fit for your specific van.
Front wiper blades
Below are commonly encountered front blade sizes by market. Use these as a starting point, then confirm with your vehicle’s documentation or parts lookup to ensure a perfect fit.

Rear wiper blades

Confirm the exact rear blade size for your van by checking the owner's manual or a parts diagram for your VIN, especially if your Transit is an older model or intended for a different market.
How to verify the exact size for your Transit
To guarantee a perfect fit, follow these steps to confirm the correct wiper blade size for your specific vehicle:
- Consult the owner's manual or the official Ford parts diagram for your VIN.
- Inspect the blade currently installed for stamped length and connector type.

- Use a VIN-based parts lookup (Ford’s parts site or dealer portal) to retrieve the exact sizing and compatible connector options.
Summary
In short, Ford Transit wiper blade sizes are not universal and depend on year and market. The most common configurations are 24" driver and 21" passenger front blades in North America, and 600 mm and 450 mm front blades in Europe, with a typical 12" rear blade. Always verify the precise size for your vehicle through the owner's manual, VIN-based parts lookup, or a dealership to ensure a proper fit and optimal wiping performance.
