What is the size of the Toyota 86 wiper?
2 Answers
The Toyota 86 wiper is 26 inches. The function of the wiper is to remove rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs the view. Taking the 2020 Toyota 86 Manual Luxury Edition as an example, it is a sports car with body dimensions of 4240mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1320mm in height, a wheelbase of 2570mm, a minimum ground clearance of 130mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 75 liters. The 2020 Toyota 86 Manual Luxury Edition is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power speed of 7000rpm and a maximum torque speed ranging from 6400 to 6600rpm.
The wiper sizes for the Toyota 86 vary slightly depending on the model year, but for mainstream models like those from 2017 to 2022, the driver's side wiper is 26 inches, while the passenger side is 16 inches. Why different sizes? Primarily because the driver's field of vision is wider, requiring a longer blade to clear blind spots, whereas the passenger side area is smaller, so a shorter blade saves space. When buying wipers, I recommend bringing a tape measure to check the length of the old blades to avoid getting the wrong model. I usually go for Bosch or Michelin brands—they're durable, resist dirt well, and are affordable, easily found online or at auto parts stores. Replacing them is simple: lift the wiper arm, press the button to remove the old blade, and align the new one with the slot—just be careful not to hit the glass. Forgetting to replace them regularly can be dangerous in rainy weather with blurred vision. I also check the blades monthly for cracks and clean the glass with alcohol to extend their lifespan. In short, having the correct size ensures safer driving.
