How to Change Wiper Blades on Your Ford F-Series Trucks (2015-2025 Models) ?

The Ford F-series has long been one of the market leaders and was ranked as the world's third best-selling car in 2025. For auto parts store owners, wholesalers and professional installers, providing services for Ford F-series models from 2015 to 2025 is an important and recurring business opportunity. A common but crucial maintenance task is to replace the wiper blades, which directly affects the driver's safety. Has your customers ever experienced wipers having streaks, shaking or bouncing on the windshield? These problems not only reduce visibility but also lead to customer dissatisfaction and the possibility of returns. This professional guide provides a comprehensive overview of the correct dimensions, connector identification (J-Hook or Pinch-Tab), and a safety-focused installation to ensure a perfect fit and quiet operation.

Find the Correct Wiper Blade Size

Using the correct wiper blade size is the foundation for ensuring fit and optimal performance. The blade length must meet the vehicle's requirements to properly clean the windshield without damage or poor contact.

Wiper Blade Size Chart for Ford F-Series (2015-2025):

Note: It should be noted that the lengths of the wipers on the driver's side and the passenger side are usually different. Before installing or recommending the product to customers, please be sure to use the owner's manual or the website to confirm the correct size.

Identify the Connector Type

Accurately identifying the type of wiper arm adapter is crucial for avoiding installation issues and returns.

Main connector (99% of vehicle models) : For the Ford f series from 2015 to 2025, over 99% of the vehicles use the industry-standard 9x3mm U-Hook (commonly known as J-Hook) adapter. The SPOTLESS series products of Yujin can be adapted to this interface, providing a secure and reliable connection.

Optional connector: Note: Starting from the 2021+ high-trim models, Ford offers an optional PINCH-TAB (Top-Lock) arm. We suggest directly confirming the connector type of a specific vehicle from its appearance before installation or sale to prevent returns and ensure customer satisfaction.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Follow this detailed tutorial for a safe and effective wiper blade replacement.

1. Lift the Wiper Arm to the Service Position

Make sure the vehicle is turned off to prevent the wipers from starting accidentally. Lift the wiper arm until it is fixed to a vertical repair position.

2. Press the Release Tab (For J-Hook)

Find the release button at the position where the bottom of the wiper blade is connected to the J-Hook arm. Press this button firmly.

3. Slide the Old Blade Off

While holding down the release button, slide the old wiper blade down along the J-Hook arm to separate and remove it. After separation, gently place the empty wiper arm back onto the glass. We strongly recommend placing a folded towel on the windshield to prevent the wiper arm from accidentally bouncing back and breaking the glass.

4. Attach the New Premium Wiper Blade

Pick up the new wiper blade and align its adapter with the J-Hook on the wiper arm. Slide up onto the hook until you hear a distinct "click" sound, indicating that it has been safely fixed in the right position. Gently pull the blade to make sure it is firmly fixed.

5. Critical Safety Check

Before the test, make sure the wiper arm is completely and safely placed flat on the windshield. This can prevent the arm from being lifted on the highway, which is a key safety issue.

6. Test with Washer Fluid

Start the vehicle and turn on the windshield washer fluid function. Observe the operation of new wiper blades. Check whether the movement is smooth, operation is quiet, and no stripes when wiping. If any problems occur, please recheck the installation steps.

Troubleshooting:Why My New Wipers Chatter or Streak?

Even after correct installation, problems may still occur. Here’s how to diagnose them:

Problem 1: Wiper Blade Chattering

Possible causes: This is usually due to residues buildup on the windshield (such as road dirt, wax, oil) or the need for a short period of running-in for new rubber blades to fully conform to the curvature of the windshield.

Solution: Thoroughly clean the windshield with a dedicated car glass cleaner and a scraper. If the problem persists after several cleanings, it might be that there is something wrong with the blade itself.

Problem 2: Streaking on Windshield

Possible causes: The most common reason is that the wiper blades are not fully fixed on the J-Hook or Pinch-Tab arm, resulting in an uneven pressure distribution.

Solution: First, recheck the installation. Make sure the connector fits perfectly and hear the "click" in place. If the connection is correct, check the rubber for any manufacturing defects or damages.
