Does the Ford Explorer Have a Rear Wiper?
Yes, Ford Explorer models come equipped with a rear windshield wiper, and it uses a different blade size than the front wipers. Rear blades are shorter and designed specifically for the rear window, so it's important to select the correct replacement.
Driver vs Passenger Side Wiper Blades on the Explorer
Depending on the model year, the Ford Explorer can use either two different blade lengths on the front windshield or the same blade length. This is to maximize visibility and to match the shape of the windshield.
Installing the correct blade on each side helps provide complete windshield coverage and reduces streaking or missed areas.
