What are the wiper blade sizes (front & rear) for the HR-V? The owner's manual doesn't seem to have this info.
Well I don't need them right now, but I found a great deal on wipers so I'm stocking up for the future when I need em

The wiper blade sizes are 26"/18" for the front, 14" for the rear for anyone else that might be wondering.
I live in Brazil and over here Honda doesn't provide the HR-V with flat blade wipers, but the old metallic frame ones. I personally changed the original metallic frame wipers for the Bosch Aerofit blades and matched the exact sizes: 26" and 15". Perhaps Honda applied a larger size (18 ") in the markets where it sells the HR-V with flat wiper blades...I have the 18" Bosch Icon for the passenger side. The correct sizes are 26/18. I don't think there is a third party rear replacement. The connector is proprietary. Maybe that's why the rear refills cost twice as much as the fronts and half the size?![]()
Thanks for the tip! This has been driving me nuts.Pulled the OEM wipers off and installed a set of Bosch Excel+ wipers. Instant streak-free silence. Best $20 I've spent on this car.
Very easy to do. I have had the best luck on wipers on this and my past Hondas with the OEM insert. They have worked the best for me and the inserts come with a grhapite coating on them..You may find this video of interest;

I have not tried his method yet (I normally change the entire apparatus) but have recently just purchased a set of refills online for at least 1/3 of the price of the entire blade.
