2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD Wiper Blade Size Guide

When it comes to keeping your line of sight clear on the job site or the highway, maintaining the wiper blades on your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD is essential. As a heavy-duty truck, your Sierra demands dependable visibility in all weather conditions. Whether you are dealing with winter sleet, heavy rain, or just clearing away bug splatters, having the correct wiper blades ensures a clean, streak-free windshield.

Below is your complete guide to finding the right wiper blade sizes, styles, and top aftermarket replacements for your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD.

Quick reference

For the 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD, both the driver and passenger sides use the same length blade. There is no rear wiper on this pickup.

(Note: Always verify exact OEM part numbers with your local GM dealer using your VIN, as exact factory part numbers frequently supersede.)

Best aftermarket replacements

If you prefer to upgrade from factory blades or simply need a quick replacement from the local auto parts store, here are the top aftermarket options. These beam-style blades are highly recommended for the Sierra 2500HD's large, flat windshield:

• Bosch ICON: (Premium / High Price) Known for exceptional durability and exclusive rubber compounds that resist cracking in extreme heat and cold.
• Rain-X Latitude: (Mid-High Price) Features a water-repellent coating that treats your windshield as it wipes, making water bead up and roll off.
• Michelin Stealth: (Mid Price) A hybrid blade design that combines the pressure points of a conventional blade with the sleek cover of a beam blade for great snow and ice defense.
• Trico Force: (Mid Price) Engineered with a swept-wing spoiler to keep the blade pressed firmly against the glass at highway speeds.
• PIAA Si-Tech: (Premium / High Price) Silicone-based blades that last up to twice as long as standard rubber and leave an active silicone barrier on the glass.

Attachment style

Unlike older trucks that used traditional J-hooks, the 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD uses a Push-button attachment (sometimes referred to as a top-button or narrow pinch tab). This modern connection provides a secure, low-profile fit. When buying aftermarket blades, ensure the package includes the proper adapter for push-button arms.

How to install

Replacing the push-button wiper blades on your Sierra 2500HD is a straightforward process that takes only a few minutes:

1. Lift the wiper arm: Carefully pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright position.
2. Remove the old blade: Locate the square button on the top of the wiper blade connector. Press the button down firmly, and pull the blade straight out and away from the wiper arm.
3. Prepare the new blade: If using an aftermarket blade, snap the push-button adapter (usually labeled in the instructions) onto the center of the new blade.
4. Install the new blade: Slide the new blade into the wiper arm until you hear a distinct "click." Give it a gentle tug to ensure it is locked in place.
5. Lower the arm: Carefully guide the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Repeat for the other side.

When to replace

For optimal safety and visibility, you should replace your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months. The heavy-duty use of a 2500HD often exposes it to harsher environments that can degrade rubber quickly. Signs it is time for a new set include:

• Streaking or smearing: The rubber edge has become uneven or worn.
• Chattering or squeaking: The blade is skipping across the glass instead of gliding.
• Splitting rubber: Visible tears or separation of the squeegee from the frame.
