New wipers from dealer

[Mavl-ous]

How hard was it?

That's a rather personal question.

wow.

Living in the Mojave Desert (Las Vegas), there isn't much heat, but summers are hot & arid and full of UV.

I've stopped changing "blades". Instead, when it comes time, I replace the driver side blade, and move the old one to the passenger side.

I rejoice when I actually get a second rain of use out of my new wiper a couple of months later! (but that isn't most changes).

The sun is also brutal on tires here--the sidewalls normally go to UV dry rot before tread is even an issue.

Michigan here.i have an antique muscle car, just changed the 30 year old tires on it this spring. They probably only had 20 k on though, and it is always stored inside.the tires still looked new with plenty of tread but after 30 years I figured it was time.

I must have thrown out the packaging already, which is very unlike myself lol according to online the passenger wiper blade, that I think it is, Motorcraft WW2054 says direct replacement but mine was definitely an inch shorter than factory.

I received my Motorcraft OEM wipers yesterday. I haven't installed them yet but the WW2054 blade measures 21" just like the OE blade. I am going to see if it's possible to pop the end cap off the old blade, cut it it with a mini-hacksaw, and pop the cap back on. I don't want to use anything other than Motorcraft/Ford parts, I am kind of OCD like that.

I can understand the OCD I can be like that as well. Hmm... now I'm wondering what I ended up with because the passenger side measures 20 and the driver's side is 21

If you happen to find out please let me know.

I will do that.

Do you have the part# for the passenger blade you received? I actually want a slightly shorter blade so I can drop it a little further into the cowl. Thanks!

Same with mine, stock passenger stops high because it “bottoms out” on the windshield/pillar trim.

We use scrubblade wipers. They are double bladed. They work great. Put on our Mav when it was new and it has 21,000+ miles. Just purchased more, but have not installed them yet. We also use them on our semi. We replace them more often on that because we drive it constantly. Way more miles in the rain, in a short time.
For those who like to add fun stuff, they also now come in some fun colors. Although I have stuck with the normal black ones. Boss would have a coronary if I put hot pink blades on his new Peterbilt!
FYI. Their customer service is outstanding. We got a defective blade just before a long trip with a lot of rain the forecast. They overnighted a new one to us. Good thing because we were in rain for about 48 hours non stop.

So on my first oil change visit at the dealership I ordered a set of wipers. I didn't have them install as I can do that do for free. I noticed after install that the wipers given to me were not only a different design but both were 1" shorter. Anyone else notice anything like this? Also yesterday after driving in heavy rain I got a random LOW WASHER FLUID warning but I've never used the washer fluid and while it's not 100% full, it's definitely not empty. Overall tho, still loving the truck!

What was your cost for wipers? I just bought a pair of Michelin at Ollie's for $12.00

Cheaper than the Bosch I normally go with I'm not one to go cheap as possible. I work too damn hard not to buy what I want.

If low cost is your goal, Rock Auto has some of the cheapest wiper prices around. Even when you factor in shipping.

I didn't realize that, thank you!

My 22 XLT would come on all the time , fluid was full, every time I was at dealer 3/4 times it would be off, they said they couldn't change sensor, 3 years on and off. My 25 Lariat 5 months now no problem must of updated sensor.

Just installed ANCON wipers from RA snapped right in. Very fast delivery. Time will tell but for the price hard to beat.

My 2025 is about to turn a year old so I was looking at wipers for the first time. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the 22" driver's side wiper actually being 23", while the passenger one is listed as 21" and actually is 21". Check out the specs from Rock Auto for the OEM Motorcraft wipers:

https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=13647857&cc=3457859&pt=8852

It actually says "Blade Length: 23"

And for the passenger the 21" really is 21"

I couldn't believe how the official manual doesn't clearly explain how to change the wipers. It tells you to make sure the truck is turned off and then put the wipers in "service position"...but you have to turn the truck on in order to get them in the service position to begin with. And it won't just tell you outright what size the wipers are, it only gives you the part number for the Motorcraft blades, which you can't even order from the Ford parts website
