Vehicles that use 28-inch wiper blades include many Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, and Chrysler/Dodge models from the mid-2000s through current production, most commonly on the driver side with a shorter passenger blade.
If you drive a sedan, hatchback, minivan, SUV, or even a Class A RV, chances are good a 28-inch blade lives on one of your wiper arms. The exact fit depends on the model year, trim, and sometimes even which generation of the vehicle you own — the same model name can switch blade lengths between redesigns. The table below shows confirmed matches so you can verify quickly before buying. Once you know your size, our tested roundup of top 28-inch wiper blades will help you pick the best option for your car.
Common Vehicles Confirmed With 28-Inch Blades
The largest concentration of 28-inch applications lands on the driver side of popular sedans and minivans spanning the 2010s and early 2020s. Below are the most frequently listed models from OEM fitment charts and product databases.
| Make/Model | Years | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota Sienna | 2011–2020 | Driver (28″), Passenger (20″), Rear (16″) |
| Toyota Corolla | 2019–2025 | Driver (28″) |
| Toyota Prius | 2016–2025 | Driver (28″) |
| Honda Civic | 2012–2015 | Both sides may use 28″ |
| Honda Fit | 2009–2020 | Driver (28″) |
| Nissan Altima | 2007–2018 | Driver (28″) |
| Nissan Sentra | 2013–2019 | Driver (28″) |
| Hyundai Elantra | 2011–2016 | Driver (28″) |
| Kia Forte | 2014–2018 | Driver (28″) |
| Dodge Grand Caravan / Chrysler Town & Country | 1996–2007 | Driver (28″) |
| Ford F-150 / Chevrolet Silverado | Varies by generation | Driver (28″), Passenger (24″) in some pairs |
These examples come from application charts published by Bosch and TRICO, which are the most widely referenced fitment databases in the aftermarket. Always confirm your specific year and trim — the Toyota Camry, for instance, is a frequent fitment question, but verified charts do not consistently list it as a 28-inch application.
Heavy-Duty Uses: Fleet, RV, and Large Trucks
Beyond passenger cars, 28-inch blades also serve heavy-duty roles. NAPA’s WIP 62855 conventional blade is explicitly designed for fleet trucks, buses, and RVs. TRICO manufactures a heavy-duty vented 28-inch blade, model 68-281, marketed specifically for Class A RVs and medium-duty trucks, where the curved windshield and longer arm require a sturdier beam-style design with built-in wind lift protection. If you’re equipping a commercial vehicle or a motorhome, these heavy-duty options provide the durability and coverage that passenger-car blades may lack.
How To Confirm Your Vehicle’s Fitment
The single most common mistake is assuming a model name guarantees a blade length. A 2011 Civic uses a different size than a 2016 Civic, and within the same model year, trim levels with different wiper arms may require different connectors. Before buying, check three things: measure your current blade (or look up the length in your owner’s manual), note the connector type — J-hook is most common, but pinch tab, push button, and bayonet styles exist — and confirm the position. Many vehicles use a 28-inch driver blade and a shorter passenger blade, so buying a pair without checking can leave you with one wrong size.
FAQs
Will a 28-inch wiper blade fit any car?
No. A 28-inch blade only fits vehicles designed for that length. Installing an oversized blade can cause the wiper arms to strike the windshield frame or each other, resulting in poor contact and potential arm damage. Always confirm fitment by year, model, and position.
What is the difference between a 28-inch beam and conventional blade?
Beam-style blades have a single curved spring-steel spine that conforms to the windshield curve, while conventional blades use a metal frame with multiple pressure points. Beam blades generally perform better in snow and ice and are the more common OEM style on modern vehicles, but some older or heavy-duty applications still use conventional frame blades.
Can I use a 28-inch blade on the passenger side too?
Only if your vehicle’s passenger-side wiper arm is designed for a 28-inch blade. Most cars with a 28-inch driver blade use a shorter blade on the passenger side — often 20 inches or 24 inches — to prevent the blades from overlapping or contacting each other during the wipe cycle. Check your owner’s manual or measure the existing blade before assuming both sides are the same length.
