What size wipers for 2017 Ford Edge?

The recommended wiper blade size for a 2017 Ford Edge is 22 inches for the driver's side and 16 inches for the passenger side. This information is based on the vehicle's specifications and can be verified through various automotive parts retailers and repair manuals.


Determining the Correct Wiper Blade Size


Choosing the right wiper blade size for your vehicle is important to ensure proper fit and function. The wiper blade size is typically determined by the make, model, and year of the vehicle. For the 2017 Ford Edge, the recommended sizes are:



  • Driver's side: 22 inches

  • Passenger side: 16 inches


These dimensions are the standard for this particular model year and can be found in the vehicle's owner's manual or by consulting an automotive parts retailer. Using the correct wiper blade size helps to ensure a tight, secure fit and optimal performance in clearing your windshield.


Replacing Wiper Blades


When it's time to replace the wiper blades on your 2017 Ford Edge, follow these steps:



  • Locate the wiper arm and blade assembly on the driver's and passenger's side of the windshield.

  • Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield and press the tab or release mechanism to detach the old wiper blade.

  • Attach the new wiper blade of the correct size, ensuring it clicks securely into place.

  • Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.

  • Repeat the process for the other side.
