Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps carefully
1
Confirm the blade sizes and buy the new blades
The Colorado takes a 22-inch driver blade and 18-inch passenger blade — no rear wiper on this pickup. Check your year before buying: 2015–2017 use a 19mm top-button connector; 2018–2022 use a hook. Blades must match.
🔧 Mechanic's note — Tom Becker
This year split catches people — I've watched guys buy the wrong adapter twice in one afternoon. Snap a photo of your arm connector and show the parts counter before you pay.
2
Park the wipers and lift the driver-side arm
Turn the Colorado off with the wipers parked at the windshield base. No service position — lift each arm straight up. Work one side at a time so the 22-inch and 18-inch blades don't get mixed up.
3
Remove the old driver-side blade
On 2015–2017 trucks, press the 19mm top-button release and slide the old blade off. On 2018–2022 models, press the hook tab and slide the blade down out of the hook. Keep the old blade for length comparison.
4
Prep the new driver-side blade
Hold the new 22-inch blade next to the old one to confirm the length. Keep the plastic edge guard on until it's mounted. Verify the adapter matches your year — top button for 2015–2017, hook for 2018–2022.
5
Install the new driver-side blade and check the lock
Mount the new 22-inch blade — slide it onto the top button until it snaps, or thread the hook through the adapter until it clicks. Pull firmly to confirm the lock. Lower the arm gently back onto the windshield.
6
Do the passenger side
Repeat the removal and install on the passenger side with the 18-inch blade. Double-check the adapter matches your model year before mounting. Lower the arm gently onto the glass once the blade clicks in.
7
Test with washer fluid and inspect the wipe
Start the Colorado, spray washer fluid, and run the wipers on low and high. Both blades should sweep quietly with no streaks, skips, or chatter. If the passenger side misses the outer edge, you may have two 22-inch blades mounted.
All Done!
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- • Buying a blade for the wrong attachment — 2015–2017 Colorados use a 19mm top button while 2018–2022 models use a hook, so match the blade to your model year
- • Buying two 22-inch blades when the passenger side takes an 18-inch blade
- • Letting the bare arm snap back onto the windshield while the blade is off
- • Forgetting that the Colorado is a pickup — there is no rear wiper to buy
