Rear wipers too small

Awesome support. I got the 16” - awesome improvement.

I went with the 15" after much internal mental debate regarding the 16". But either will be better than the Q-tip sized one the Machs come with.

And I chose not to have a rear wiper at all.

Yeah, … about that. How did you make that happen?

But I prefer the smaller wiper blades.

Size doesn’t matter …

That is a nice, clean look Mark.

That link points to a 15" size. Can you confirm that the 16" listed on the same page fits the Mach-E?

I use the Trico 15 that Rick linked. It works great. Watch a video on how to remove the OEM one though as the fastening is a bit different. I haven't used the OEM wipers since I got the car home and haven't tried 16-inch rear wipers.

The rear wiper on the mach e is too small. This has been a beef for years. Why does ford not fix it?

And if you're really bored, you can go through the definitive rear wiper blade replacement thread here. It's only 16 pages long ?:

What exactly is everyone looking at through the rear glass? ? It's completely pointless to even have a wiper at all back there! ?

You do have a point about that Dave. Tailgaters mostly! Which reminds me of a funny bumper sticker that said “Tailgaters have little dick energy.” ? I had to get close to see it ? though it was in traffic not the interstate. BTW I have the Trico 15” and it’s much better.

Ford finally fixed it for 2025. They are 15" now

Let me just point out that a longer wiper blade puts way more load on the electric motor. Longer wrenches allow you to put more force on a tight bolt because of the same principles. In this case it works against you by creating more load for the motor to handle. Sweeping more rain from the rear window might not be a problem, but trying to sweep more snow could tax the motor. Will Ford nix the warranty on the rear wiper motor if it finds we are using an oversized blades? One would hope that the motor had been sized with a generous amount of reserve power, but in the age of relentless cost-cutting, maybe not?……

I saw many posts saying an upgrade to make to the car is a bigger wiper when I was looking for new owner tips after buying my '25. I'm a rear wiper lover and never noticed an issue with the wiper. Someone here said these was fixed on the '25 models, so I went out to measure to verify. Mine is just under 17" measuring from where it attaches to the arm.

While it seems like the replacement has always been an option, if it gives you anxiety to buy a wiper where the site will say it "doesn't fit" I wonder if Ford will replace prior model years small wiper with the longer '25 wiper?

I just use the one for the Ford Edge I can’t remember the exact size but works nicely
