What is the size of the Sylphy wiper blades?
2 Answers
The size of the Sylphy wiper blades is 26+14 inches, and they use a U-type interface. Extended content: The difference between parallel wipers and opposed wipers: 1. Parallel wipers can use slightly shorter wiper blades (the wiper on the co-pilot side is usually shorter), and can be paired with a smaller wiper motor, so this type of wiper is generally more economical. Due to the shorter wiper on the co-pilot side, there is a higher chance of a blind spot in the upper right corner of the co-pilot side during the wiping process. 2. Compared to parallel wipers, opposed wipers have longer linkage mechanisms and require more space in the water channel for installation, so the cost is generally higher than that of parallel wipers. Additionally, the coverage area of the co-pilot side wiper in opposed wipers is larger than that in parallel wipers, resulting in relatively smaller blind spots. However, opposed wipers are more prone to water accumulation in the middle of the windshield, which can affect visibility.
As someone who has driven a Sylphy for several years, I remember the wiper sizes clearly: 26 inches for the driver's side and 18 inches for the passenger side. When buying new wipers, make sure not to get the wrong size—otherwise, they won’t wipe cleanly, leaving your vision blurred. Last time, I bought a cheap pair that didn’t fit tightly, and I almost had a collision in heavy rain—it was too dangerous. I recommend checking the rubber blades every six months for signs of aging. If you notice streaks or hear skipping sounds, it’s time to replace them. I prefer reliable brands like Bosch or Michelin for their durability and peace of mind. Don’t neglect cleaning the windshield either—lightly wiping the wiper blades with a damp cloth each month can extend their lifespan. Replacing them is simple DIY work that saves money and ensures safety.
