The Ford Puma has a rear wiper on its tailgate as well as two front blades, so it needs three blades in all, and the rear one is much shorter than the fronts. The driver blade is longer than the passenger blade, so check both lengths and the arm attachment before you buy.
Five things to know before you buy Wiper Blades for the Ford Puma
- Driver and passenger lengths differ. Almost every modern car has a longer driver blade than passenger, usually by 2 to 4 inches. The exact pair for the Puma is worth confirming from the handbook rather than assumed.
- Attachment beats length. A J-hook, pinch-tab, side-pin or bayonet end determines whether a blade will clip on. Multi-adapter sets from Bosch, Valeo or Michelin cover the four common UK connectors.
- Add the rear wiper to the order. Hatchbacks, estates, SUVs and crossovers carry a rear wiper on the tailgate; the rear blade is shorter and easy to forget when buying the fronts.
- Beam or hybrid over conventional. On the curved modern windscreen fitted to the Puma, a beam blade lifts less at motorway speed and clears the arc more evenly than a jointed bracket blade.
- Winter boot for UK January. Sub-zero mornings and grit spray in the UK make a boot-encased winter blade genuinely useful; a bare bracket blade freezes at the joints on the first hard frost.
