What size windshield wipers on Ford Fusion 2017?
The 2017 Ford Fusion uses 26-inch blades on the driver’s side and 24-inch blades on the passenger’s side for the front wipers. The sedan generally does not have a rear windshield wiper.
Front wiper blade sizes
The two front blades are different lengths to optimize windshield coverage and ensure clear visibility across the entire glass surface.
- Driver's side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger side blade: 24 inches
When replacing, verify these measurements and consult the owner's manual or the blade packaging to ensure correct fit. After-market blades of the same lengths are commonly available from brands like Bosch, Rain-X, and ACDelco.
Always confirm blade length before purchase, as some trims or aftermarket replacements may use different adapters or lengths. Incorrect blade size can lead to poor contact and streaking.
Rear wiper note
The 2017 Ford Fusion sedan does not come with a rear windshield wiper as a standard feature. If you own a variant with a rear wiper, consult the owner's manual for the correct size, as it may differ by market or trim.
Replacement tips
Choosing the blade type
Most drivers in rain or snow prefer hybrid (beam) blades for better contact and durability. The Fusion does not mandate a specific design, but aftermarket blade sets in the 26"/24" sizes are widely available and compatible with Ford's wiper arms.
Installation steps
Follow these general steps to replace the blades:
- Raise the wiper arm from the windshield until it locks in a vertical position.
- Press the small release tab on the wiper blade connector and slide the blade out of its housing.
- Take the new blade and attach it using the appropriate adapter to the wiper arm, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
- Lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield and gently test to ensure full contact across the glass.
Tip: When purchasing, bring the old blade or check the vendor's compatibility chart to select the correct adapter. If you are unsure, ask a sales associate to help verify fitment for your 2017 Fusion.
Summary
For a 2017 Ford Fusion, the front wipers use 26-inch driver-side and 24-inch passenger-side blades, with no standard rear wiper on the sedan. When replacing, choose the correct lengths and blade type, and follow the installation steps carefully to ensure proper visibility in adverse weather. Always refer to the owner's manual for model-specific guidance.
