You have a 2022 EUV and your wiper arms are like the arms in the photo (also, your blades are the same size), my 2023 EUV is different (and it takes two different size wiper blades).

I looked at the Peak, the problem is they changed the arms on the 2023 EUVs and the adapter you mentioned has the release button on the wrong end of the wiper arm receptacle.

I will try to post a photo of my wiper arms soon.

 

Here is a picture of the 2023 EUV wiper Blade mounting:

Notice how the release button is different from the picture previously posted.

 

Well I’ll be darned. I didn’t know that that changed between model years.

 

Odd.
GM shows the same part number for both model years.

I looked at gmparts direct also and the image showed the wrong connection, the connection would fit the 22, not the 23.

PS: I like the unicorn comment!!!

 

Maybe this will help.
From the 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV manual page 296:

Amazon.com

 

That Amazon link says "does not fit your 2023 Bolt EUV".

 

Rather than change out the whole blade I replaced the rubber part in original blade carriers that came on the car. I used a set of silicone blade refills that perform significantly better than the OEM ones. Plus, the refills cost less than $10 for both blades.

Amazon.com

 

I did not know those were available. Thank you for the link. I may start doing this as well.

If you decide to do it, it takes a bit of finesse to get one of the ends off. Here's the original discussion where I go the idea. Watch the included video so you don't break the end caps.

Frameless wiper refill. Wish I saw this video first.

Was lucky to get my 22 euv, BUT: Would have been nice if the dealer changed the wipers before delivery and aired up the tires. Hey, got a new battery though, eh? :) I digress. Needless to say the wipers sucked and one was chattering already. Bought silicone refills for $10 on amazon here...

Thanks for the info. I ended up getting a replacement set for $8 on Amazon. Certainly worth a try over the exorbitant prices the dealer wants for the entire assembly. I'll be sure to watch the video before trying to install them. My Bolt is also a '22 EUV.

Put another way, it ain't easy.

Cool. I always felt it was such a waste to throw away the perfectly fine metal parts.

 

 

Got the Amazon message that says will not fit your 23 Bolt EUV. They fit fine. I was going by what I had read on the forum. The Bosch blades are very nice! Quiet, soft, and leave the windshield cleaner and streak free.

 

Tom, I looked at these on Amazon, the listing does not show the correct arm for the 2023.
Can you confirm that your wiper arms have the release button at the furthest point away from the pivot point, like is shown in the photo above.
Thanks for your help

 

Who knew that buying Wiper blades would be such a Pain in the ...

 

Yes, I agree…. I had a devil of a time trying to find passenger side wiper blades for the EV. Ended up having to buy them online as none of the local auto parts stores had the RH blades.

 

 

I do remember having some minor difficulty putting them on. I see a gap too. So maybe not a perfect fit, but good enough for me. Probably took 10 minutes or so. Maybe try more searching on this forum? There was a second brand that people liked besides the OEM.

 

Tom, Thanks for the picture, this just adds to the dilemma. Your 2023 Bolt EUV has different arms than my 2023 Bolt EUV. You also have the 24 and 16 inch blades, however, your mounts are different than mine (see photo).

Thanks gm for making an unnecessary change in the middle of a model year!!!

Picture of my 2023 EUV Wiper mounts:

Thanks Tom

 

Try Bosch wiper in search field

 

Hmmmm, those do look different. Here’s my originals

 

11521 & 11531 are numbers on original blades

 

I am not satisfied with the performance of the Drivers side Wiper blade on my new (August 2023) EUV Premiere.

My problem is that I can't find wiper blades that fit the arm properly. I know that the blades are 24 and 16 inches, however, Chevy seems to have altered the mounting method for the blade and none of the brands I checked have the proper adapter for the 2023 EUV.

The problem is that Chevy changed the "release button" location from the end closest to the arm pivot, to the location farthest away from the pivot (see the photo below):

View attachment 59804

For example: the top wiper above shows the release button toward the left, however, on my 2023 EUV, the release button would be on the left side (closest to the end of the wiper arm).

Has anybody changed Wiper blades on a 2023 EUV and found a blade that fit?

Thanks for your help.

PS: I copied this image from another thread on this Forum, so, credit goes to the original poster.

PPS: I have tried Michelin, Peak, Trico, Bosch, Duralast, and several others, they just do not have the proper adapter.

One of the major differences between the EV and EUV models is the wiper system used on each, and you may be confusing the two models. The EV has an "opposing" style wiper linkage where the driver and passenger blades park at the center of the windshield base and sweep in opposite directions (driver side blade sweeps toward the left edge of the windshield and passenger side blade sweeps toward the right edge). The EUV has a "parallel" style wiper linkage where both driver and passenger blades sweep to the left in parallel. The photo in your original message is from a Bolt EV (not an EUV); note how the two blades are parked one above the other at the center of the windshield. Here's a photo showing the wiper set up on an EUV:

BTW, the 2022 and 2023 EUV wiper systems use the same components (including the same wiper arms and blades):

• 2022 EUV wiper parts
• 2023 EUV wiper parts

Thank you for the photo, if you zoom in on your picture, you can see that the wiper blade release button is closer to the pivot point of the wiper than to the end of the wiper arm (just like in the first photo you referenced).

My problem, which can be seen in the photo below, is that gm changed the position of the wiper blade release button to the point furthest away from the pivot point. This change makes all the wiper blades, and even the GM OEM wiper blades that have been referenced above, not fit my wiper blade arm.

I am beginning to think that only a few of the Bolt EUVs have this issue and that gm might have changed the release position back on later builds.

 

That’s so bizarre, now hearing from other 23 owners that have the same blades as the 22s. @EUV4ME - what’s the build date on your EUV?

 

After posting my reply above, something still didn't sound right, so I dug a little deeper. Turns out that AC Delco (AC Delco Catalog) has the correct info. There was a production change on April 3. Any 2023 EUVs built before 4/3/2023 use the same wiper blades as the 2022 EUVs. EUVs built on or after 4/3/2023 use the new connectors. Since this change is so recent, I suspect that there are no aftermarket blades with the correct adapter, so you may be out of luck for any non-OEM blades for the immediate future, but it shouldn't be long (maybe late this year or early next year) before some of the major aftermarket sources (ANCO, Bosch, Trico, Valeo, etc.) begin including the appropriate adapter. If you want a replacement blade now, it looks like it's the dealer's parts department or a parts store with an AC Delco account as your only choices.

Edit: GM part #s for the later style: left blade = 42858909; right blade = 42858912

 

Confirmed. The magic date is April 3, 2023.
My EUV was built July 11, 2023 and has the “newer style“ blade.
Everybody needs to refer to that AC Delco catalog page and know their build date.

 

Not to throw this thread off track (and not answering OP's question), but is everyone applying Rain-X to their windshield (and other windows and mirrors)? Regular application of Rain-X will extend the life of your wiper blades by several years. I've been a diehard Rain-X window treatment proponent since the late 1980s.

Yes, there's "manual labor" required to properly treat your windshield with Rain-X, but it's definitely worth the time spent. Even commercial users (tug boat operators in Pacific Northwest) swear by Rain-X.

 

I use the Rain-X washer fluid. It does a great job. I don't know if it extends the life of the wipers because I change the blades once a year.

 

If it’s an August 2023 vehicle, why don’t you take it into the dealer and make a warranty claim? I’m sure they’ll solve the issue for you, free of charge…

 

Dang! you guys have rain?
Texas, it has not rained for 60 days.
this is today. 4pm in the shade.

It rained 60 days ago? Hasn't been below 100 all summer!

 

I am so sorry to hear about your wiper blade issues.. however, I am totally facinated by what I can see of you car. Do you have a RACING STRIPE????? Please, please send a pic.. I am so obsessed. I wish I could get one, but I am very practical... I just got a blingy license plate frame and a colorful plate : )

 

OP is right about the OEM blades. They suck. I suspect the rubber compound is too hard. Mine won't wipe the window completely either. Leaves a spot about the size of my palm that is left wet and streaked. Will not wipe dry. Otherwise I am super impressed with the car. Love it!

 

A set of Rain-X wipers recently went on sale on Amazon and ours were getting streaky so I picked up a set. Fits well. Also, @EUV4ME these may potentially fit yours too. I took a picture of the instructions for you and if you notice one of the configurations is similar to yours. For what it’s worth, it “does not fit your EUV 2022” was what Amazon told me but I went with my gut anyway. Product link and photo of instructions attached.
