What's the Right Wiper Blade Size for 2015 Ford Focus?

What's the Right Wiper Blade Size for 2015 Ford Focus?
​Many parts contribute to your Ford Focus’ safety and handling. But windshield wiper blades are an often overlooked part of the equation. When they don’t work properly, you lose consistent visibility – and that can be hazardous on icy or flooded roads. Fortunately, wiper blade selection and upkeep are fairly simple. Keep reading for some quick types on buying and changing out your Ford Focus wiper blades.

​How New Wiper Blades Improve Visibility

​Depending on your climate, operating habits and the type of blades you buy, you can expect them to last between six and 12 months. When they wear out, you’ll notice some typical symptoms:
  • Streaks and dirt left on your windshield
  • Chattering or squeaking on the windshield glass
  • Cracked, torn, faded or stiff rubber edges
  • Rust or corrosion on exposed metal
Worn-out blades can compromise your visibility and make driving dangerous when roads are slick. Poor visibility also impacts your reaction times. If you can’t see an obstacle, you can’t stop in time to avoid it. A collision is the last thing you want. Dropping $15 to $40 per blade on a new set is small change compared to the hundreds or thousands you could spend in vehicle repairs, medical bills or worse

​How To Change Your Wiper Blades

Wiper blade shopping is pretty easy – you just need to know the size and style you want. You need two different sizes of 2015 Ford Focus wiper blades. Purchase 28-inch blades for both front windshield wipers and a 12-inch blade for the rear wiper. Once you have your new blades, you can replace your old ones in under five minutes. If you want to save some time, unpack the new ones first and lift each wiper arm until it’s standing up by itself. Then you’ll just need to follow some easy steps:
  • Rotate the old blade until it’s perpendicular to the wiper arm.
  • Press the release tab and guide the blade out of the slot.
  • Pull the blade downward and rotate it until it’s parallel to the arm.
  • Slide your old blade over and off the wiper arm hook.
  • Guide the new blade onto the hook and into the wiper arm slot.
  • Press the new blade into the slot until it secures.

​Styles of Wiper Blades

​When you buy blades for your windshield wipers, you can choose from three different types: conventional, beam and hybrid. Conventional blades use a metal frame with pivot points attached to a rubber squeegee. Beam blades contain solid pieces of rubber curved to match the arc of your vehicle’s windshield. Hybrid blades have an aerodynamic curved rubber shell affixed to a metal frame with pivot points.
So, which type should you purchase? Beam blades deliver exceptional performance in snow and rain – plus there’s no metal frame to clog with ice or snow. Hybrid blades are also dependable, but they’re less expensive than beam blades thanks to their metal frames. Conventional blades are inexpensive and have the simplest construction but may wear out more quickly with frequent use. Select the blades that best meet your needs – and count on your favorite parts dealer for sound advice and service.
