What size wiper blades for 2018 Honda Civic?
The front wipers are typically 26 inches on the driver’s side and 18 inches on the passenger’s side. The hatchback variant has an 11-inch rear wiper, while the sedan does not have a rear wiper.
Front wiper blades: sizes by position
These are the standard lengths used on most 2018 Civics for the two front wipers. Check your owner’s manual or measure the blades if you’re unsure.
- Driver-side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 18 inches
Most drivers will want to replace both blades with these lengths to ensure full windscreen coverage. Some regional variations or trims could use slightly different lengths, so verify if you’re seeing uneven wiping or streaking after replacement.
Rear wiper blade: by body style
The rear wiper situation depends on the body style. The sedan variant does not include a rear wiper, while the hatchback uses a dedicated rear blade of approximately 11 inches.
- Hatchback rear blade: 11 inches
- Sedan rear blade: none (no rear wiper)
When purchasing a rear blade, ensure you select the correct size for your Civic’s body style. If you’re shopping secondhand or aftermarket, confirm compatibility for the hatchback’s 11-inch rear blade.
How to confirm the exact size for your car
To avoid buying the wrong size, use these verification steps before purchasing replacements.
- Check the owner’s manual for the exact blade lengths specified for your trim and market.
- Remove the current blades and measure their length, or bring one blade to the parts store as a reference.
- Provide your vehicle’s VIN to a dealership or reputable parts retailer to confirm exact fitment.
Accurate sizing ensures proper contact with the windshield and reduces streaking or chatter during use.
Quick tips for choosing blades
Beyond size, consider blade type and climate. Beam or hybrid blades often provide better even pressure and performance in extreme temperatures, while conventional blades are typically the most economical. Ensure compatibility with your wiper arms and adapters if replacing aftermarket.
Blade type considerations
In regions with cold winters or heavy rainfall, opting for a high-quality hybrid or beam blade can improve visibility and longevity compared with older, traditional designs.
Summary
For the 2018 Honda Civic, prepare front blades in 26 inches (driver) and 18 inches (passenger). If you own the hatchback, the rear blade is 11 inches; the sedan does not have a rear wiper. Always verify against your owner's manual or with a parts retailer to account for regional or trim-specific variations.
