What size rear wiper blades for Lexus CT?
The rear wiper blade for the Lexus CT is 11 inches long (about 28 cm).
On most markets, the Lexus CT refers to the CT 200h hatchback, which uses a single rear wiper blade sized to fit the compact rear window. This article explains the standard size, how to verify your exact vehicle, and options for replacement blades.
Standard rear wiper size for the Lexus CT
For the CT 200h in many regions, the official rear blade length is 11 inches. The small rear window on the CT requires a compact blade that provides full coverage without rubbing against the glass or trunk. If you are unsure about your specific year or market variant, check the owner's manual or a reliable parts catalog.
To ensure you select the correct blade when replacing, follow these steps:
- Park your car on a level surface and turn off the ignition. Inspect the current blade and measure its length from tip to base.
- Release the blade from the wiper arm by pressing the release tab or button on the blade's adapter.
- Remove the blade from the arm and measure its length. For most CT 200h models, this will be 11 inches (28 cm).
- Compare the measurement to the replacement blade you intend to purchase; ensure it is labeled as 11 inches or compatible with an 11" rear fit.
- Install the new blade by sliding it into the wiper arm until it clicks or is secured by the adapter; test the wipe motion to confirm full coverage and clearance.
Replacing with the correct length helps prevent streaking and ensures the blade clears the entire rear window during operation.
Market variations and confirmation tips
While 11 inches is the standard for the CT 200h in many regions, some markets or later regional variants could have a slightly different rear blade length. To be certain, check the exact specification in:
- Your vehicle’s owner’s manual
- The Lexus/Toyota parts catalog for your country or VIN
- In-person confirmation at a dealership service department
When shopping for replacements, you may see blades labeled as 11" or 28 cm. Always pick the blade explicitly listed as 11 inches for the CT 200h rear fit, or measure and compare to ensure compatibility.
Replacement options
Choose between OEM (Lexus/Toyota) blades or reputable aftermarket options. The rear blade comes in a few standard formats, so confirm fitment for your CT’s mounting type before purchase.
- OEM replacement blade designed for the CT 200h, typically listed as 11" rear blade in the official parts catalog
- Aftermarket 11" rear blades from brands such as Bosch, Valeo, Denso that specify compatibility with Lexus CT 200h or Toyota Prius family rear blades
- All-weather or hybrid blades that specify a compact 11" rear fit for hatchback layouts
Regardless of the source, ensure you select an 11-inch blade and follow the included installation instructions for a secure fit.
Summary
The typical rear wiper size for the Lexus CT is 11 inches. Verify the length on your specific vehicle via the owner's manual or parts catalog, or measure the current blade, and choose an 11" replacement. OEM and reputable aftermarket options are readily available, and proper sizing ensures a clean wipe and clear rear visibility.
