How To Replace Honda Windshield Wipers

The crazy thing about windshield wipers is that, until you really need them, you may not even realize they need replacing. But if snow and rain isn't being removed effectively from your windshield, chances are, your wipers are damaged or worn. Fortunately, it's not all that complicated to replace Honda windshield wipers. You don't even have to be a certified automotive technician to do it.

Here are the steps involved for general windshield wiper placement on a Honda civic. Other models may vary. If you need further assistance, you will be able to find an instructional video online for nearly every Honda windshield wiper replacement imaginable. 

If you’d really rather not bother doing this on your own, however, feel free to bring your vehicle to Empire Honda of Manhasset. We can help.

Windshield Wiper Replacement For Honda Civic

Remember that this set of instructions is for a Civic, so it may vary, depending on what kind of Honda you drive:

  • Be sure, before you even start this process, that you have the correct wiper blades for your specific model. Check your owner’s manual for a part number just to be on the safe side. If you bring your vehicle in for service at a Honda dealer, they'll have the wiper blades you need in stock.
  • Away from the windshield, the blades should first be raised for easier access during replacement.
  • On both sides, pinch inward on the pinch clip along the blade holder (about halfway up). Otherwise, you might need to press down on a peg clip, for some models. The blade will be loosened, either way, and can then be slid from its holder, downward. Remove the blade.
  • A new blade can now be positioned. At the wiper attachment, point the hooked end then, into the holder, slide it upward until it clicks in place. To open the holder, you may need to apply pressure for the pinch clip type so you can slide in the new blade.
  • For the wiper on the other side of the windshield, repeat the process.
  • Make sure you test the blades out before you take a drive, because you don't want something to be wrong if it starts to rain or snow (or something splashes onto your windshield).
