    Windshield Wipers Dimensions missing?

    So, 2 years on the same windshield wipers..figured I'm being a bit greedy so I went to check in the user manual for the car, and the section for windshield wipers does not have the dimensions that we need to get for replacements..or am I missing it somewhere??

    Someone has to have bought windshield wipers for their car..what size were they both driver and passenger side?

    Thanks to anyone for any information available.

    Already knew about RockAuto's inventory listing..however, RockAuto has steered me wrong in the past. I want to confirm some 'concrete' way either by a dimension listing in the user manual, or verbal confirmation with a fellow Mirage owner.

    Have you bought your windshield wipers from RockAuto? If so, good fit?

    Thanks!

    I have not yet had to replace my wipers. I searched my owners' manual and could not find a reference to wiper size, except to contact your Mitsubishi dealer. Thank goodness Rock Auto, and others, list various replacements for these cars.

    Compare the sizes listed by the vendors and you should get a fair idea what size wiper blade goes where.

    Fear not!

    Mitsubishi Mirage Windshield Wipers
    Location Wiper Size
    Front Left 24"
    Front Right 16"
    Rear 12"

    I went outside and confirmed these sizes on my 2015 by measuring. I hope they match yours.



    What we need now is a poll for favorite replacement wiper blades.

    Thanks for all the effort dude! I too went outside and did a measurement. 16" seems to be good for the passenger side, but for some reason I got 23.5" on the driver's side. Hmm, maybe I should go for 23's instead..? Maybe 0.5" not a big deal, probably just the Mechanical Engineering student in me lol

    I oversized replacement blades on previous vehicles for more coverage, and enjoyed the view. Of course, I couldn't just replace the blades, but the holder-thingy as well.

    I am interested in finding a replacement for the passenger windshield wiper arm - one that is not bent upwards. I guess the North American Mirage has the longer bent arm, other markets have a straight arm that doesn't stick up so much. Hmm.
