What are the wiper specifications for the Prado?
2 Answers
The wiper specifications for the Prado are 650mm and 500mm. The wiper blades are typically fixed with a U-hook type. To replace them, simply lift the hook to remove the wiper blade. After replacing the wipers, wet the windshield, set the wiper switch to various speed positions, and check whether the wipers maintain a consistent speed at different settings. Also, inspect the wiping performance and ensure the wiper arms do not exhibit uneven movement or missed spots. The Prado is an imported ORV with body dimensions of 4760mm in length, 1885mm in width, and 1845mm in height. It features a ladder frame structure, full-time four-wheel drive system, and a 4.0-liter engine.
I used to drive a Prado and replaced the wiper blades several times. The driver's side was 26 inches, and the passenger side was 16 inches, which are standard sizes, but there might be slight variations for different year models, such as a 20-inch and 18-inch combination. I recommend measuring the current wiper length of your car before purchasing to avoid mistakes. Over time, wipers may not clean properly or produce strange noises, directly affecting driving safety in the rain. Therefore, I check them every six months and replace them immediately if they show signs of aging. When choosing wipers, don’t go for the cheapest option—high-quality rubber or silicone materials are more durable and easy to install, taking just a few minutes. Regularly wiping the wiper blades during car washes can also extend their lifespan.
