They are equipped with frame brushes: 410 mm on the right side and 600 mm on the driver’s side. The standard “Hook” fastening is used, its other names are “Hook” or “J-Hook”, also simply “J” or “U”.
Replacement wiper blades must match the numbers and mounting type shown here. Usually a brush 400 mm long is installed on the right side, and this is correct. There are other tricks that also need to be taken into account.

What is better to buy: rating of winter blades 2018-2019 for the standard windshield wiper of any car
The best solution for winter is to buy wipers with a rubber cover. If you want cheaper ones, look towards the “frameworks”. The advantages of “frameless” and “hybrids” in snow conditions do not justify significant investments.
Testing aspects
The best life test is real operation in conditions of contact with road reagents on the windshield. The main criterion is how long the brush can clean without streaking. Creating a film on the window is not recommended - at night it acts as a significant obstacle to the view.
The quality of workmanship directly affects the service life and performance characteristics of the product. Price is not a determining factor in the duration of work - not only reviews know about this. Tests from reputable publications also confirm this fact. A positive point of an indirect nature is the absence of squeaking.
Wipers that have been used for at least two winter seasons are considered good. Moreover, without significant dissonance of characteristics during the entire period of operation! The lion's share of models lose their ability to clean perfectly after the first winter.
A lot of positive and negative reviews allow us to make a rating of car winter windshield wiper blades for the 2018-2019 season:
- Alca Winter (540 rubles).
- Maruenu Gyraless Snow (3,500 rubles).
- Lynx Winter Wiper Blade (550 rubles).
- Goodyear Winter (380 rubles).
- Trico Winter (570 rubles).
- Masuma Snow Blade (700 rubles).
- Avantech Snowguard Polar (340 rubles).
- Champion Winter WX41 (475 rubles).
The availability of Alca Winter brushes does not come at the expense of quality - the products function properly during the first two years. No deterioration in the quality of cleaning or squeaks was noticed after a year of operation. The best qualities are revealed in the temperature range [+2…-25] °C. Various adapter designs allow you to install wipers on any car. The only negative is the windage after 100 km/h.
Maruenu Gyraless Snow are silent in operation and work without problems for at least three to four seasons. There are no complaints about cleaning throughout the entire service life. Demand is constrained by the high price dictated by the use of tourmaline, which increases the service life of the model.
Lynx and Goodyear cope with eliminating the consequences of precipitation for no more than two winter seasons. Afterwards, unacceptable gaps appear. The packaging of the product is already squeaking. At near-zero temperatures, they tend to rub dirt on the glass.
Trico Winter and Matsuma Snow Blade do not make squeaks, but do not last more than one winter. Avantech have an acceptable level of cleaning during the first two months. Further, acoustic discomfort and significant stripes are observed.
Champion copes with functional responsibilities throughout the entire season without significant complaints. There are some comments regarding the fastening part - it is suitable only for cars with “hook” type leashes. The case is also not ideal - it is made of too thin material.
Original dimensions of wipers on Grant
Lada Granta
The length of the driver's windshield wiper is 600 mm. The length of the passenger wiper is 410 mm. Fastening type - “hook” (in English hook).
Foreign manufacturers indicate the length of the windshield wiper in inches, so the suitable length for a passenger blade is 16″. Sixteen inches - 406 mm, probably because of this, brushes with lengths of both 40 and 41 cm can be installed on the right side of the Granta. If desired, you can install a passenger windshield wiper up to 45 cm, but I would recommend staying in the range of 400...410 mm.
I have added brush article numbers to the selection: they will help you find specific products in stores that sell auto parts (this is faster and, most likely, cheaper). Also, the articles will allow you to avoid compromises in the form of several centimeters in the length of the brushes - choose only what is made specifically for your car.
Finally, a comparison of prices for windshield wipers.
Common Mistake
Installing frameless brushes, especially the budget range, does not always lead to the desired results. At speeds up to 60 km/h, the windshield wipers work perfectly, up to 80 - passable. And then, if you drive along the highway faster than 90 km/h, the blades no longer adhere to the surface of the glass - they “fly up”. Although everything looks great from the outside. More details in the material: front wipers are poorly cleaned!
Frameless wipers 40 and 60 cm Frameless wipers 41 and 60 cm
Let us remember that here we were talking specifically about frameless ones. Perhaps our criticism will not be relevant for expensive solutions.
Previously, in the 2109 and 2114 families, flatter glass was used than on Kalina/Grant. On convex glass, the “right wiper” may not reach the lower corner (see photo). The problem is solved by installing frameless brushes. And what this entails was discussed above.

Alternative sizes
It is clear that they are trying to increase the size of the brushes, not decrease them. Let's look at what happens as a result:
- 60 x 40 is the most common option;
- 65 x 40 is a good alternative. The “triangle” at the bottom between the brushes will be reduced to the limit;
- 60 x 45 – use this option only if you are installing frameless frames;
Brushes 60 x 45 cm - 65 x 42.5, frameless – remove the “triangle” completely.
Probably, the reader managed to understand the main idea: the total length of the brushes should not exceed 105 cm. In the latter version, by the way, one “wiper” can come into contact with another. In practice, this does not happen, since the “left brush” is located above the “right”.
The most extreme combination used in reality is 65 x 43!
Performing a replacement
First of all, you need to move the windshield wiper arm away from the glass. Then the actions correspond to the picture: we squeeze the latch, remove it from the hook, and dismantle it. The most difficult thing is to move the hook up (Fig. 2). You need to be able to avoid damaging the rubber band (brush).

Installation is carried out in the reverse order - the latch should snap into place on its own. We wish you success!
Frame, frameless, combined
What a “frame wiper” is is clear to everyone: the design of the unit uses a metal frame. The role of the frame can be performed by a narrow strip made, for example, of plastic. And then the structure is called frameless (see figure). By the way, the plastic itself can differ in rigidity, and it is also sometimes reinforced.
Three types of wipers
Hybrid or combined designs use a frame and a plastic strip (bottom picture). In general, a hybrid differs little from a frame wiper: the height is reduced, other characteristics are the same. So, there is no need to delude yourself about the use of “hybrid wipers”.
If the frame brush does not clean one corner or another part of the surface, the same will happen with the “hybrid”.
Winter brushes
If tourmaline is added to rubber, such material will be good at removing oil films. And if the wiper frame is covered with a cover, this will protect the structure from ice. This means that, in general, winter brushes are frame brushes with a plastic cover.
“Winter wipers” can only be frame ones
And for some reason it is believed that it is necessary to clean glass from oil products in winter.
The disadvantages of winter windshield wipers are listed below:
- Availability of a frame (required);
- Increased weight of the structure;
- High price.
In theory, any winter brush is also suitable for summer. The main thing is not to use frameless brushes in winter, since they are not intended to fight ice.
The many faces of U-Hood
Some brushes compatible with the U-Hood (J-Hood) mount have a tricky lock: to loosen the mount, you need to bend the lever. This lever itself is difficult to immediately notice (Fig. 1).
To tilt the lever at least to some angle, you must first squeeze two buttons (Fig. 2). So, the sequence: squeeze the buttons, tilt the lever.

An available option is two brushes from the St. Petersburg company Horse Ballistik, 60 and 41 cm. When installing, you will have to use an adapter for attaching the “hook”. If you are offered a choice when purchasing, take the option with a rubber tape - it squeaks less.
