Smart Fortwo Wiper Blades Size Guide

The Smart Fortwo is a two-seat city car sold across two generations, built around the compact tridion safety cell shared by its hatchback and convertible / cabriolet body styles. The most common fitment, the W451 generation (2008-2014), takes a 24 inch (600mm) blade on the driver side and a 22 inch (550mm) blade on the passenger side, though the earlier A450 and C450 generation uses a 22 inch (550mm) blade on both sides. Front wiper connectors differ by generation, either J-Hook or Pinch Tab, and rear wiper fitment varies by body type, present on both hatchback variants but absent on the convertible / cabriolet models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Smart Fortwo take?

Wiper blade sizes for the Smart Fortwo depend on generation. The W451 (2008-2014) takes a 24 inch (600mm) driver blade and a 22 inch (550mm) passenger blade, while the earlier A450 and C450 (2004-2006) both take a 22 inch (550mm) blade on each side. Owners should match their exact body type and series code in the table below to get the correct size.

Does the Smart Fortwo have a rear wiper?

Rear wiper fitment on the Smart Fortwo depends on body type. The C450 (2004-2006) and W451 (2008-2013) hatchback models are fitted with a rear wiper blade, 14 inches (350mm) and 11 inches (275mm) respectively, while the A450 and W451 convertible / cabriolet models do not have a rear wiper.

What wiper connector does the Smart Fortwo use?

The Smart Fortwo uses a J-Hook connector on the first-generation A450 and C450 models, and a Pinch Tab connector on the second-generation W451 models. Confirming the series code before ordering ensures the wipers clip on without modification.

Why does the Smart Fortwo come in so many wiper blade variants?

The Fortwo has been sold in hatchback and convertible / cabriolet body styles across two distinct generations, and Smart varied the wiper arm design and rear wiper fitment between them. This means the correct wiper set depends on both the series code and the body style, not just the model name.

How often should I replace Smart Fortwo wiper blades?

Wiper blades on a Smart Fortwo should generally be replaced every 12 months, or sooner if they start to streak, judder or squeak. Because Fortwo owners may also have a rear blade fitted, it is worth checking and replacing all blades together for consistent visibility.
