Question 1

is the wiper a set for left and right side?

Accepted Answer

I didn't need to talk to anybody I know to blow off whatever Jeff Cox is rambling about. Mr. Pazuzu gave a wonderful answer. There's no need to go to any auto parts website, not sure why some unnamed third-party is more trustworthy than Amazon, but as Mr. Pazuzu noted the car's manual will provide the specifications for all the replacement parts in your vehicle including wiper blades.

Whether or not the product you buy will be a single blade or a set of two depends on which option you select before adding it to your cart; and which blade goes on the right or left is dependent on your vehicle. Back in the day all my cars had the same blade on either side and it didn't matter, but for some time now every car I've worked on has different blade sizes on either side, but it's not universal which way they go.

Whether it's best to buy a set of 2 or two individual blades depends on what the prices are when your making your purchase. For me, right now, is $7 cheaper (before tax) to get two individual blades instead of buying the combo set of two with the corresponding sizes... they actually cost more as a set of 2.

So just check your manual for the correct sizes and type of connection, then compare the cost, and installation is easier than it might seem, but depending on what type you have it might make things even easier to watch their install videos before proceeding.

Question 2

How many blades is this?

Accepted Answer

You get only one blade, unless you order a two-pack.  For on blade the cost is relatively high. Be careful.

Question 3

Is this one or two blades in pkg

Accepted Answer

When purchasing you can select one, two or combo. Selecting one gets you one wiper blade. Selecting two gets you two wiper blades of the same size. Selecting combo gets you two wiper blades that fit the car selected (which may be two different sizes). Fill out the my garage info for Amazon and the system will check to make sure what your car needs.

Question 4

So i found the “front left” wiper but i cannot find “front right”. this seems like a silly issue. why not sell them in pairs?

Accepted Answer

Many vehicles these days take different sizes on the left and right.  Example, my Dodge Grand Caravan takes 26" on left, 20" on right. There is an almost  infinite number of combinations possible, therefore blades as sold a singles. Add to this the fact that most SUVs and Vans also use a single wiper on the rear window, the sizes of which start small but cross over into common windshield sizes. AND... especially with higher priced blades, if one blade brakes people only want to replace that blade.  Therefore the industry has, over the last couple decades, switched to single blade packaging.
