Rear Wiper

[kamorela]

The rear wiper seems like it could be a little bigger, has anyone ever tried installing a slightly longer blade on it?

Lots of threads on this. The two most popular blades are the Trico 15-G and the Bosch A401H. I have used both. They are both insanely better than the silly little thing Ford put on our cars. ??

Wow, I should have done a search for this, you're right there's a lot of threads for this.

Question: do YOU have a preference? Given they're each slightly different, what are the real-world differences for you...any?

Trico 15-G. It’s $12 on Amazon. Lasts at least 1-2 years depending on use or weather.

I have the same and agree it's great. I had the Trico 15-G and it was fine, but like the extra reach of the Bosch 16". It really is crazy that Ford only put a 14" blade on the rear window.

i think the Ford intension was to give us extra item for customization

The Trico is a little more flexible and covers the lower width of the rear window better. The Bosch is a little longer and wipes a little bit higher. Either way, they’re way better than the scale model wiper Ford gave us. ?‍?

What effect, if any, does this extra length have on the rear wiper motor from extra drag…? (snow & Ice load)

The Shear Modulus (in GPa) of rubber is 0.0006.

You should be able to figure it out from there....

What are the sizes for wiper? Front driver 26 and passenger 20 and rear 15?

24", 20", 14" (factory). Most people get a longer rear wiper blade though, usually a 15" or 16".

Comes factory equipped with rear 14 inch.
The extra inch of the Bosch 16 inch gives me more room for rear camera attachments
