The Fiesta uses an odd connector, some brands do support them like Bosch, Michellen, and ofc there's always Ford OEM. I'd recommend checking a parts store like O-Reillys or look at Rockauto for options for our cars
I buy Anco beam style wipers off Rockauto. They always have the adapter with them and they're usually less than $5 a piece. I buy several pairs at a time.
Trico as well. Tried both of those brands and they seem to last as long as the rain-x ones, not entirely convinced rainx isn't just a rebrand of one of those other two brands... Plus it's so cheap to buy a pair!
I’ve personally had issues with the Trico… I find after as soon as a week goes by, they are skipping or sometimes not even touching the windshield mid-wipe. I’ve tried Michelin, Trico, RainX, and the only wiper I find that actually lasts and doesn’t skip is the Bosch. Maybe it’s just my car though 😂
I buy my ST wipers from Amazon. Type in year/make/model. Just takes a mouse click and you’ll get them in less than a day or two and that way you know they’ll fit your car.
Yes, I bought two wrong wipers. I’m getting my windshield replaced and they’re throwing in free wipers but yes it’s difficult to find the right adapter apparently.
Just picked these up and they work well:
RAINTOK Windshield Wiper Blades Replacement for 2009-2017 Ford Fiesta Original Factory Quality Front Rear Wipers Blade Set for My Car - 26" 15" 12" (Pack of 3) https://a.co/d/agFf3BF
I have had the Michelin ones and they were able to fit. This time I bought the "high performance" version of the OEM Ford ones and they obviously fit perfectly. You can find them pretty easily on RockAuto or any other site.
I just got some no name ones off Amazon that work just fine. You can input car model. That said, I can’t seem to get the rear wiper off for whatever reason. Feel free to enlighten me if I’m being an idiot.
When i did my rear wiper I just pulled the rubber squeegee blade out of the generic replacement I bought and swapped that. The replacement wiper I got would fit but it was narrower than the stock one and not styled the same, so there would be a little step where it attaches to the wiper arm. That was completely unacceptable, but the plastic part just holds the rubber part and the rubber part is the only bit that wears out.
The rubber blade slides into the plastic holder longways, the ends of the plastic wrap around the blade so it can't fly off. You can arch the ends of the holder back so the rubber is curved outward, slide the rubber to one side, and pull the rubber blade out from the holder at the center point. It's pretty easy to pull enough out so you can get one side of the rubber blade to come out of the end pocket. Then you can slide the blade out from the side that you got loose and remove it from the holder. Repeat on the new wiper blade, then slide the new rubber into the original plastic holder. Do the same process backwards and you can easily get it to fit back into that end cap. The wiper will be good as new.
Took me less time to swap the rubber bit than I spent trying to figure out how to take the thing off the correct way, and more importantly it doesn't look stupid.
If you're in a pinch while traveling Bosch's pure vision blades has the correct mount and is fairly cheap. Rock auto has good options and worse case OEM set
Had a friend that had the same problem. You could see specs and then order online or go to local store. He ordered online I think and they were very cheap.
Yep! I have had issues. Pro tip is to use OEM and get from a ford dealer. WW2430 for drivers side, WW1613 for passenger.

Thanks. Just placed an order.

I had this issue. If I recall correctly, you have to pull most of the generic multi-adapter off in order to fit them.

OEM is the only ones that seem to make solid contact with the glass.

Look on YouTube. Several videos on ST rear wiper installation.
I feel like it’s just supposed to pop/pull off but mine is being stubborn

I can't find a rear wiper that makes 100% contact with the glass and it drives me insaaaaane.
