What is the standard wiper size for the Xiali N5?
2 Answers
Models (left, right): Xiali (18+16), Xiali N3 (18+18), Xiali N5 (19+18), Xiali 7131 (16+16), Xiali 2000 (22+16), Xiali A+ (17+18). The wiper size description and wiper installation position are as follows: Wiper size description: The wiper sizes for the driver's side and passenger side of the vehicle are different. Generally, the driver's side is longer, and the passenger side is shorter. In this case, care must be taken not to install them in reverse. If both wipers are the same size, it doesn't matter. Wiper installation position: Wipers are installed below the windshield. For hatchbacks, the rear door and rear windshield are integrated, so placing the wiper on the rear door prevents interference between the two. For sedans, the rear door and rear windshield are not integrated, so opening the rear door can cause misalignment between the rear windshield and the wiper.
I've been driving my Xiali N5 for quite some time now, and I remember the standard wiper sizes are 18 inches for the driver's side and 16 inches for the passenger side. I changed them once before because they weren't wiping cleanly, which prompted me to check the sizes. Choosing the correct size is crucial, especially when driving in heavy rain—having a blurry windshield is dangerous. I recommend checking them before each rainy season and replacing them if you notice the rubber strips are aged or worn. There are frameless wipers available on the market that are easy to install, so you can do it yourself and save the cost of a repair shop visit. Getting the size right is key—for example, an 18-inch wiper that's too small won't cover the full area, while one that's too large might rub against the edge of the glass. If you often park in direct sunlight, the wiper rubber strips can crack more easily, so don’t overlook this detail during maintenance. Keeping your windshield clean ensures safer and more comfortable driving.
