What Size Windshield Wiper Blades for GMC Canyon?

Last verified: October 5, 2026

The GMC Canyon is a popular midsize pickup truck, and using the correct blade sizes helps ensure proper windshield coverage, clear visibility, and smooth, streak-free performance in all weather. One thing that sets the Canyon apart from most vehicles in this series: GMC paused production of the Canyon for the North American market entirely for the 2013 and 2014 model years, so there's a real gap in the lineup — not just a quiet size change — between the first and second generations.

This guide covers GMC Canyon windshield wiper blade sizes by year, so you can quickly find the right fit for your truck. If you're looking for wiper blade sizes for other vehicles, see our windshield wiper blade size guide by vehicle.

Does the GMC Canyon Have a Rear Wiper?

No, GMC Canyon models do not include a rear windshield wiper because they are pickup trucks with an open cargo bed rather than a liftgate window. You'll only need to replace the driver and passenger side wiper blades.

How to Install Wiper Blades on a GMC Canyon

The connector type depends on your model year — the Canyon switched from J-hook to a push-button style for the 2015–2017 generation, then switched back to J-hook for 2018 and later:

J-hook (2004–2012 and 2018–2026):

Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright service position.
Lift the small release tab on the underside of the blade where it meets the J-hook.
Slide the old blade down and off the arm.
Slide the new blade onto the J-hook until it clicks securely into place.

Push button (2015–2017):

Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright service position.
Locate the small release button on the back of the blade, near the connection point.
Press the button and slide the old blade off the arm.
Slide the new blade on until it clicks and locks into place.

In either case, lower the arm slowly afterward, keeping a hand on it so it doesn't snap back against the glass.

Driver vs Passenger Side Wiper Blades on the Canyon

The GMC Canyon typically uses two different blade lengths on the front windshield. The driver-side blade is generally longer to maximize visibility, while the passenger-side blade is shorter to match the contour of the windshield.

Installing the correct blade lengths helps provide complete windshield coverage and reduces streaking or missed areas.

Why Correct Wiper Blade Size and Connector Matter on the Canyon

Because the Canyon switched connector types mid-lineup and then switched back:

A correctly-sized blade with the wrong connector (J-hook vs. push button) won't attach at all — always confirm connector type, not just length, especially for 2015–2017 models
The 2013–2014 production gap means there's no "in-between" size to guess at — if you're shopping for a used Canyon from those years, you're likely looking at a relabeled Chevrolet Colorado or a different market's version, so double-check what you actually have before ordering
Pickup trucks like the Canyon often see more highway miles and road spray exposure than passenger cars, so an undersized or wrong-connector blade is more noticeable at speed

GMC Canyon Wiper FAQs

Why doesn't GMC list a 2013 or 2014 Canyon?
GMC paused North American production of the Canyon for those two model years as part of a broader lineup change; the truck returned for 2015 with a full redesign, including a new connector type.

Why did the connector change in 2015, then change back in 2018?
GMC used a push-button style connector for the first few years of the redesigned (second-generation) Canyon, then returned to the more common J-hook style for 2018 and later models.

Does the GMC Canyon have a rear wiper?
No — the Canyon is a pickup truck with an open bed, so it only has front wiper blades.
