Best Aftermarket Replacements
Choosing the right wiper blade comes down to budget and performance needs. Here are some of the best aftermarket options for your 2017 Ford Explorer:
- Bosch ICON ($$$$): A premium, beam-style blade known for its long life and excellent all-weather performance.
- Rain-X Latitude ($$$): A popular water-repelling blade that applies a hydrophobic coating to your windshield.
- Trico Force ($$$): A durable, high-performance blade designed to withstand high winds and heavy rain.
- Michelin Stealth ($$): A hybrid blade that combines the aerodynamics of a beam blade with the focused pressure of a conventional one.
- PIAA Si-Tech ($$): A silicone blade that lasts longer than traditional rubber and provides a smooth, streak-free wipe.
Attachment Style
The 2017 Ford Explorer uses a Push Button style attachment for the front driver and passenger side wiper blades. The rear wiper uses a Roc Loc 2 Arm attachment, which is a specific type of push-button system.
How to Install
Front Wipers:
- Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
- Locate the small square button on the wiper blade connector.
- Press the button and slide the old blade off the J-hook of the wiper arm.
- Slide the new wiper blade onto the arm until it clicks into place.
- Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
Rear Wiper:
- Pull the wiper arm away from the rear glass.
- Rotate the blade outward to unlatch it from the arm.
- Pull the old blade off.
- Push the new blade onto the arm until it snaps securely in place.
When to Replace
You should replace your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months or as soon as you notice a decrease in performance. Signs that it's time for a new set include:
- Streaking: Lines of water left on the windshield after the wipe.
- Chattering: The blade skipping or vibrating across the glass.
- Squeaking: A loud noise as the wiper moves.
- Cracked or torn rubber: Visible damage to the blade edge.
