What size are Honda Accord windshield wipers?
In most modern Honda Accord models, the driver's side blade is commonly 26 inches long, with the passenger-side blade typically 17 or 18 inches. However, sizes vary by year and body style, so verify for your exact car.
Why wiper sizes vary between generations
Across generations, the front wiper assemblies have evolved, changing blade lengths and connector types. The exact sizes for a given Accord depend on the model year, trim level, and sometimes the market where the car was sold. Always check your owner’s manual or use a fitment tool to confirm the correct measurements for your vehicle.
Typical sizes you may encounter on recent Accords
Below are the sizes that are commonly found on many current- and recent-generation Accords. Use these as a starting point, but always double-check for your exact year and body style.
- Driver-side blade: typically 26 inches for most modern Accords.
- Passenger-side blade: usually 17 or 18 inches, depending on the year and generation.
Note that some variants and older generations use different lengths, and some trims may have unique connector styles that require adapters. Confirm with a fitment lookup if you’re unsure.
How to confirm the correct size for your specific Accord
Use these steps to verify the exact blade lengths for your vehicle before purchasing replacements.
- Check the owner's manual or the door jamb sticker for blade size specifications.
- Inspect the current blades for printed length markings or the packaging for the blade you plan to replace.
- Use an online fitment tool from an auto parts retailer by entering year, trim, and market to get a precise recommendation.
- Physically measure the blade from tip to tip if you have the old blade available.
Accurate sizing ensures optimal wiping performance and avoids blade chatter or gaps on the windshield.
Replacing wipers on the Accord: a quick guide
When you’re ready to replace blades, follow these simple steps to swap in new blades safely and correctly.
- Turn off the engine and gently lift the wiper arms away from the windshield to create space.
- Release the current blade from its connector by pressing the release tab and sliding it out.
- Attach the new blade using the adapter included with the blade. Choose the correct adapter if multiple are provided, then slide it until it locks in place.
- Lower the wiper arm back to the windshield and test by turning on the wipers to ensure full contact across the glass.
Replacement is generally quick and can be done without tools for most modern configurations.
Rear wiper note
Most Honda Accord sedans do not include a rear windshield wiper. If your model has one (rare for the Accord in some markets), verify the size through your manual or a fitment tool, as rear wiper sizes vary by year and market.
Summary
Windshield wiper blade sizes for the Honda Accord are not universal; they depend on model year and body style. The driver-side blade is typically around 26 inches, with the passenger-side blade around 17–18 inches in many recent models. Always verify using your owner’s manual, the current blade, or a fitment tool from a trusted retailer before buying replacements. Regular checks help ensure optimal visibility and safe driving.
