What size wiper blades for Honda CRV Gen 3?
For the Honda CR-V Gen 3, front wiper blades are typically 26 inches on the driver's side and 17 inches on the passenger side, with a rear blade measuring 11 inches.
Front wiper blade sizes
The front wipers on the Gen 3 CR-V are sized differently to cover the windshield properly. The driver’s side blade is longer to sweep a larger area, while the passenger side blade is shorter to fit the opposite arc and avoid overhang.
- Driver-side: 26 inches
- Passenger-side: 17 inches
When replacing, be aware of connector types (such as J-hook or other mounting styles) and ensure the blade length matches the wiper arm sweep for your specific year and trim.
Rear wiper blade size
The rear wiper blade on most Gen 3 CR-V models is an 11-inch blade. The rear blade is shorter and uses a different mounting than the front blades.
- Rear: 11 inches
Note that some specific trims or production variations could cause minor deviations. If in doubt, measure the old blade or consult the owner’s manual or a Honda parts diagram to confirm exact fit.
Choosing the right blade type
Beyond length, blade design matters for visibility. Conventional, hybrid, and beam blades are common options. For the Gen 3 CR-V, beam or hybrid blades typically offer better performance in rain and snow and come in the standard 26", 17", and 11" sizes.
Where to buy and how to verify fit
When shopping, verify compatibility by model year and connector type. Most retailers list compatibility by car model/year. If unsure, bring the old blade to the store to compare length and connector compatibility.
Summary
In summary, for Honda CR-V Gen 3 (2007–2011), use a 26-inch driver-side wiper, a 17-inch passenger-side wiper, and an 11-inch rear wiper. Always confirm connector type and year specifics, and consider higher-performance beam blades for improved visibility in harsh conditions.
