This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the refreshed, "revised" or "facelifted" first generation 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and the early 2017 model year Jeep Compass in changing the front windshield window wiper blades. (The 2nd generation arrived in late 2017.)

Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM vehicles such as the Avenger, 200, 300, Town & Country, Challenger, Charger, Dart, Durango, Journey, Patriot, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, 1500, 2500, 3500, C/V Tradesman and ProMaster may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The wiper blade sizes in inches are as follows: Driver Side 22" and Passenger Side 20".

A few compatible replacement wiper blades with their part numbers include the following: Bosch 22-CA & Bosch 20B, Rain-X 5079279-1 & Rain-X 5079277-1, Valeo 900221B & Valeo 900201B, Anco 31-22 & Anco 31-20, Michelin 8522 & Michelin 8520 and Trico 25-220 & Trico 25-200.

No tools are needed to change the wiper blades.

Towel - Protect Glass

Line Up Hook & New Blade
Place a towel on the windshield to protect the glass from being cracked, chipped, scratched or shattered just in case the wiper arm smacks down on to the window while you are replacing the wiper blade.

I always buy the Bosch 22-CA and Bosch 20B wiper blades since they have great reviews on Amazon.

Insert the metal hook at the end of the metal wiper arm through the opening in the center of the new wiper blade.

Lower Blade To Windshield
Double check that the new wiper blade is securely installed in to the metal hook at the end of the wiper arm.

Gently lower the wiper arm down to the windshield.

For the best wiper performance, I'd recommend thoroughly cleaning the windshield and applying a window treatment product such as Rain-X.
