Wiper connectors fall into four main types: J-hook, Side Pin, Bayonet, and Push Button. To determine yours:
-
Inspect the original wiper: Lift the arm and look at the attachment point. J-hook is a U-shaped metal clasp; Side Pin has a horizontal pin; Bayonet has a dovetail slot; Push Button has a square release button.
-
Check model year and trim: The same car model may switch connectors across generations (e.g., VW MQB platform mostly uses push-button).
-
Use a parts lookup app or website: Enter your VIN to get the OE connector code.
-
Consider “multi-adapter” kits: Many aftermarket brands include various adapters covering >90% of vehicles, but always verify the adapter locks firmly to avoid detachment while driving.
