The fourth-generation Toyota Yaris (XP210) carries a rear wiper on its tailgate, and the rear blade is much shorter than the fronts and easy to forget when ordering. Check the driver and passenger front lengths and the arm attachment before you buy, and consider a winter-boot design for UK frost.
Five things to know before you buy Wiper Blades for the Toyota Yaris
- Driver and passenger lengths differ. Almost every modern car has a longer driver blade than passenger, usually by 2 to 4 inches. The exact pair for the Yaris is worth confirming from the handbook rather than assumed.
- Attachment beats length. A J-hook, pinch-tab, side-pin or bayonet end determines whether a blade will clip on. Multi-adapter sets from Bosch, Valeo or Michelin cover the four common UK connectors.
- Add the rear wiper to the order. Hatchbacks, estates, SUVs and crossovers carry a rear wiper on the tailgate; the rear blade is shorter and easy to forget when buying the fronts.
- Beam or hybrid over conventional. On the curved modern windscreen fitted to the Yaris, a beam blade lifts less at motorway speed and clears the arc more evenly than a jointed bracket blade.
- Winter boot for UK January. Sub-zero mornings and grit spray in the UK make a boot-encased winter blade genuinely useful; a bare bracket blade freezes at the joints on the first hard frost.
Frequently asked questions
Are the driver and passenger wiper blades the same size on the Toyota Yaris?
