2024 Jeep Gladiator Wiper Blade Sizes & Replacement Guide

Driving a 2024 Jeep Gladiator means you are ready for any adventure, rain or shine. But when the trail gets muddy or the skies open up, having the right wiper blades is critical for safe visibility. The Gladiator features a straight, upright windshield that takes a beating from the elements, making regular wiper blade replacement an essential part of routine maintenance.

Below is your complete guide to the 2024 Jeep Gladiator wiper blade sizes, top aftermarket choices, and installation tips.

Quick reference

For the 2024 Jeep Gladiator, both the driver and passenger sides use the exact same size wiper blade. Because the Gladiator is a pickup truck, it does not have a rear wiper.

(Note: Always verify exact Mopar OEM part numbers with your local Jeep dealer based on your specific trim and VIN, as OEM availability can shift).

Best aftermarket replacements

If you prefer to upgrade from the factory Mopar blades, the 16-inch size is incredibly common, meaning you have excellent aftermarket options. Here are the top choices across different price tiers:

• Bosch ICON: (Premium Price) These beam-style blades are highly rated for their durability and even pressure distribution. They excel in heavy rain and snow, making them perfect for the Gladiator.
• Rain-X Latitude: (Mid to Premium Price) Famous for applying a water-repelling coating as they wipe, these beam blades help water bead up and roll off your upright windshield.
• Trico Force: (Mid-Range Price) Designed with a swept-wing spoiler to slice through wind, these keep the blade planted on the glass at highway speeds.
• Michelin Stealth: (Mid-Range Price) A reliable hybrid blade that combines the anti-clogging features of a beam blade with the structural integrity of a traditional hinged blade.
• PIAA Si-Tech: (Premium Price) Silicone-based blades that last up to twice as long as standard rubber. They are excellent for extreme heat and freezing temperatures alike.

Attachment style

Unlike older Jeeps that used standard J-hooks, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator (like its JL Wrangler sibling) utilizes a Push-button (sometimes referred to as a top-button or pinch-tab) attachment style. This modern mounting system is very secure and makes swapping out old blades incredibly fast, as long as your aftermarket wipers include the correct adapter in the box.

How to install

Replacing the wiper blades on your 2024 Gladiator takes just 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 this button down firmly, and slide the wiper blade out of the wiper arm housing.
3. Prepare the new blade: If you bought an aftermarket blade (like a Bosch or Rain-X), snap the appropriate push-button adapter onto the new blade as instructed by the packaging.
4. Install the new blade: Slide the new blade into the wiper arm until you hear a definitive "click."
5. Test: Gently lower the arm back onto the windshield. Turn on the ignition and test the wipers with a splash of washer fluid to ensure they are seated correctly.

When to replace

Because of the steep angle of the Gladiator’s windshield, wiper blades often wear out slightly faster than on aerodynamic sedans. You should plan to replace your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months.

Watch for these warning signs:

• Streaking: Leaving lines of water behind.
• Chattering: The blade skips or bounces across the glass, making a loud noise.
• Splitting: The rubber squeegee edge is physically torn or peeling away from the frame.
