Is Your Car Actually a Buick LaCrosse?
During the Regal's absence, Buick's primary mid-size sedan was the Buick LaCrosse. The first-generation LaCrosse was sold from 2005 to 2009. If you own a Buick sedan from this period, it is very likely a LaCrosse. Parts for the Buick LaCrosse are not interchangeable with parts for the Buick Regal.
How to Correctly Identify Your Vehicle
Before ordering any parts, you must confirm your vehicle's exact model and year. The most reliable way to do this is by checking the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is a unique 17-digit code found on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. The 10th digit of the VIN identifies the model year. You can use a free online VIN decoder to confirm your vehicle's make, model, and year.
Pro Tip: Once you confirm you have a Buick LaCrosse, you can search for parts specific to that model to find the correct wiper switch for your vehicle.
