How to confirm the exact sizes for your car


To confirm exact sizes for your specific vehicle and market, follow these steps:



  1. Check the owner's manual or the official Toyota parts catalog for your EP91 variant to identify the recommended blade lengths.

  2. Inspect the current blades for stamped sizes on the blade itself, often located on the base or edge of the blade.

  3. Measure the blades if needed: extend the wiper to full motion and measure the blade length from tip to end in inches or millimeters.

  4. If you replace one blade at a time, pair the new blade length with the opposite side unless your vehicle requires two different sizes as listed above.


Verifying the exact sizes ensures proper fit, full windshield contact, and effective clearing in rain and spray.

When shopping for blades, consider these practical tips to ensure a good fit and long life:


Blade types and compatibility


Different blade profiles and adapters exist to fit various Starlet EP91 arm types. Pick blades that explicitly state compatibility with Toyota Starlet or with your specific market’s arm style to avoid fit issues.



  • Choose blades designed for your market if your Starlet is in a non-U.S. region; many blades include adapters for multiple arm types.

  • Consider aero or beam-style blades for improved performance in rain and at highway speeds.

  • Check for compatibility with your wiper arm attachment (hook, pin, or bayonet styles) and park position.


With the right blades and adapters, you’ll get a snug fit, quiet operation, and better wipe quality across weather conditions.
