2024 Tesla Model Y Wiper Blade Sizes & Replacement Guide

Maintaining clear visibility in your 2024 Tesla Model Y is critical for both manual driving and Autopilot functionality. Since the forward-facing cameras rely on a clean windshield, ensuring your wiper blades are in top condition is an essential part of routine maintenance.

Below is your complete guide to the wiper blade sizes, attachment styles, and top replacement options for the 2024 Tesla Model Y.

Quick reference

Here are the exact measurements and specifications you need when sourcing replacement blades for your Model Y. Note that the Model Y does not have a rear wiper blade.

(Note: OEM part numbers may end in different letters depending on the revision, e.g., -B or -C).

Best aftermarket replacements

While you can always purchase replacement blades directly through the Tesla app or service centers, there are excellent aftermarket alternatives available at your local auto parts store. Here are the top picks across different price tiers:

• Bosch ICON (Premium): Widely considered the gold standard for beam-style blades. The ICONs provide exceptional wiping performance and longevity. (Make sure to buy the "OE" versions that include the push-button adapter).
• Rain-X Latitude (Premium): Famous for their water-repelling coating that transfers to your windshield over time. Excellent for rainy climates.
• PIAA Si-Tech (Premium): Silicone-based blades that outlast standard rubber and operate smoothly without chattering.
• Michelin Stealth (Mid-range): A durable hybrid blade that offers a great balance of all-weather performance and value.
• Trico Force (Mid-range): Designed specifically to maintain contact at highway speeds, resisting wind lift—a great match for the aerodynamic Model Y.

Attachment style

The 2024 Tesla Model Y utilizes a Push-button (Top Lock) attachment arm. This is a very common modern attachment style. Unlike the older J-hook design, the push-button style is sleek and allows the wiper to sit closer to the windshield. When buying aftermarket blades, ensure the package includes the push-button adapter (often labeled as a Narrow PTB or Top Lock adapter).

How to install

Replacing the blades on a Model Y is slightly different from traditional cars because the wipers tuck away below the hood line.

1. Enter Wiper Service Mode: Sit in the car, navigate to the touchscreen, tap Controls > Service > Wiper Service Mode, and turn it on. The wipers will move up to the center of the windshield and stay there.
2. Lift the Arm: Gently lift the wiper arm a few inches away from the glass.
3. Remove the Old Blade: Press the square push-button on the top of the wiper attachment and slide the blade straight down (toward the base of the arm) to remove it.
4. Install the New Blade: Slide the new blade into the arm until you hear a distinct "click" from the push-button snapping into place.
5. Test: Gently lower the arm back to the glass. Turn off Wiper Service Mode on your screen to return the wipers to their resting position.

When to replace

For optimal safety and Autopilot camera clarity, you should replace your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months. Environmental factors like UV exposure, freezing temperatures, and road debris can degrade the rubber.

Watch out for these telltale signs that your wipers are failing:

• Streaking: Leaving bands of water across the glass.
• Chattering: Skipping or making loud shuddering noises as they wipe.
• Smearing: Spreading water instead of clearing it, which can temporarily blind the car's forward-facing cameras.
