Rear wipers too small

[kamorela]

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

I, for one, have a rear camera (dash cam) looking out the back window, a window which is a dirt magnet and rain curtain. My 16" wiper offers clarity while recording. I'll be keeping the wiper.

Exactly. Let's see the insurance company deny THAT!

Sure, but I think it will still be rather obvious even with a dirty/rainy view....

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

“soon”

This 16" wiper works great on my MME: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHMLT112

FWIW, I can confirm that @highland58 's 2025 that came from the factory with a full-sized grown-up wiper (looked like like a 15 or 16), so Ford may have gotten the feedback.

Thanks! This B0CHMLT112 blade fits perfectly on our '21. You can see from the dirt how much further it covers. ?

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?

Wow, they actually fixed something, only took four years.

That’s looks like a 14” wiper, you measure the length of the blade that touches the glass only.

How were you able to make that one fit? The one I have has this type of connector:

But the one you linked to has this:

If you get the a401h model, it wilk fit exactly like the stock one. Sometimes the Amazon pictures are generic.
I have the a401h on my car, and it clips on perfectly.

I received this one:

It has the non-right-angle connection I posted previously, and thus doesn't fit. Don't know what the discrepancy is in our orders...

My mach-e was backed into by another car in a parking lot (I backed out of my spot, and then he backed into me.) I was told by my own insurance company that most insurance companies handle parking lot accidents as no-fault as it's extremely difficult to prove who backed into who.

My rear camera was all the proof I needed. After I mentioned that I had video of the entire thing, the other driver accepted responsibility and their insurance company agreed to cover the entire thing. (I didn't even have to hand over the video footage!)

Between the repair bill and diminished value claim, that rear camera was worth just over $10k.

But you don't need a clear window for any of that. ?

I need a clear window to properly see what happened in the video. Had the insurance company asked for the video, and it turned out to be a blurry, dirty mess where it wasn't very clear what happened, or the license plate of the car that backed into me wasn't very clear, they might have declined to take responsibility.

(I have a viofo 229 pro, and that thing has amazingly clear video.)
