The front driver-side blade is typically 26 inches and the passenger-side blade is 16 inches, with the rear blade around 11 inches. This guide walks you through replacing both front and rear wipers on a 2015 Honda Fit, with clear steps to do it safely and efficiently.
What you’ll need
Before you start, gather the replacement blades in the correct sizes and a clean cloth. Most front blades sold for the 2015 Honda Fit include adapters to fit the car’s J-hook arms, and the rear blade will be a smaller 11-inch unit. If you’re unsure of blade size, check the owner’s manual or measure the existing blades.
- Front wiper blades: 26" (driver) and 16" (passenger)
- Rear wiper blade: about 11"
- Replacement blades compatible with Honda’s wiper-arm connectors (J-hook adapters typically included)
Having the right blades and adapters on hand helps you complete the job quickly and avoid damage to the wiper arms.
Front wiper blade replacement
The following steps apply to replacing both front blades, which use similar attachment on the Honda Fit’s arms. Make sure you have the correct adapters for the new blades if they aren’t pre-installed.
- Park the car, turn off the ignition, and lift the wiper arms away from the windshield so they stand up at a right angle.
- Locate the release tab on the old blade’s connector. Press or slide the tab to release the blade from the wiper arm, then slide the blade downward and away from the hook.
- Remove the old blade completely and inspect the wiper arm. If your new blade uses a different adapter, attach the correct one from the package onto the new blade.
- Line up the new blade’s connector with the wiper arm’s hook (J-hook) and push it onto the arm until you hear a click or feel it lock in place.
- Lower the blade back to the windshield, being careful not to slam it against the glass. Repeat the process for the other front blade if you’re replacing both sides.
- Wipe the windshield with a clean cloth after installation to remove any fingerprints or packaging residue.
After completing the replacement, test the wipers gently at low speed to ensure both blades contact the glass evenly and wipe cleanly.
Rear wiper blade replacement
The rear wiper uses a smaller, simpler attachment and often shares the same type of connector, but whatever blade you purchase should specify compatibility with hatchback wiper arms. Note that some models require opening the hatch to access the blade fully.
- Open the rear hatch to access the wiper blade. If the blade is covered by a cap or shield, remove it to expose the connector.
- With the wiper arm held away from the glass, locate the release mechanism on the blade's connector. It may be a tab you press or a small clip to slide.
- Carefully slide the old blade out of the arm’s mount. If the blade requires rotation to release, rotate it slightly to disengage.
- Attach the new blade by aligning it with the wiper arm and sliding it in until it is secure. Return the blade to the glass by lowering the arm gently.
- Test the rear wiper by turning it on to ensure proper sweep and clearance.
With the rear blade replaced, you’ll help maintain visibility through the rear window in rain and snow.
Tips and maintenance
To extend blade life and maintain visibility, inspect blades for cracking, splitting, or stiffness during replacements and consider cleaning the blades and windshield periodically. If you store spare blades, keep them in their packaging until ready to install to protect the adapters.
Summary
Replacing wiper blades on a 2015 Honda Fit is straightforward: front blades are typically 26 inches on the driver side and 16 inches on the passenger side, with a rear blade of about 11 inches. With the right blades and adapters, you can complete both front and rear changes in under 20 minutes. Always test the wipers after installation and monitor performance in adverse weather.
