Polestar 2 Wiper Blade Replacement — DIY With Sizes and Procedure

Polestar 2 wiper blade sizes: 650 mm driver, 475 mm passenger, 305 mm rear. Bayonet-style attachment on front, side-pin on rear. Service position via the centre screen. Total DIY time: 10 minutes for all three.

When to replace

• Streaking on dry glass
• Squeaking even after washer fluid
• Visible cracks or hardened rubber edge
• Annually as preventative (UV breaks down rubber even with light use)

What to buy

• Bosch Aerotwin AR653S (driver 650 mm) + AR475S (passenger 475 mm) + A282H (rear 305 mm)
• Valeo Silencio (matching sizes)
• Michelin Stealth Hybrid (matching sizes)
• Polestar OEM wipers via authorised service centre

Consult dealer for current OE PN if you want exact match. The Bosch Aerotwins are widely available worldwide and match factory performance.

Tools

• New wipers (correctly-sized set of 3)
• Microfibre cloth
• Optional: rubbing alcohol for cleaning the windscreen pre-fit

Service position procedure

Don't try to lift the wipers when the car is fully off — they're tucked under the bonnet lip and you'll bend an arm. Use the service position:

1. Sit in the driver's seat. Switch the car ON (don't put in Drive).
2. Centre screen → Settings → Vehicle → Wipers → Service Position.
3. The wipers will move to a vertical position clear of the bonnet lip.
4. Switch the car OFF (the wipers stay in service position).

Now you can lift them safely.

Front wiper replacement (650 mm + 475 mm)

1. Lift the wiper arm vertical from the windscreen.
2. Hold the arm steady (don't let it snap back — it will crack the glass).
3. Rotate the old wiper blade 90° to expose the bayonet clip.
4. Bayonet detail: press the small plastic tab on the underside of the connector. Slide the blade off the arm.
5. Take the new wiper. Slide it onto the arm in the same orientation. You'll feel/hear a click when it seats.
6. Lower the arm carefully back to the windscreen.
7. Repeat for passenger side (475 mm).

Rear wiper replacement (305 mm)

The rear wiper uses a different attachment — side-pin, not bayonet.

1. Lift the rear wiper arm.
2. Rotate the old blade so its side-pin clip faces you.
3. Press the side-pin tab and slide the blade off.
4. Slide the new blade on, opposite orientation.
5. Lower the arm.

Exit service position

1. Switch car ON.
2. Settings → Vehicle → Wipers → Exit Service Position (or use the wiper stalk for one cycle).
3. Wipers return to park position.

Test with washer fluid. Check for streaking. If streaking after install, the rubber may have transit kinks — wipe down with rubbing alcohol and try again.

Common mistakes

1. Not using service position — bends the wiper arms.
2. Letting the arm snap back to glass — cracks the windscreen.
3. Wrong attachment style on rear (using bayonet wiper for side-pin attachment).
4. Not pressing the bayonet tab fully — forces and cracks the connector.
5. Mismatched sizes — Polestar 2 has specific sizes; universal-fit packs may work but quality varies.
