For the 2013 Honda Civic, the rear wiper situation depends on body style and market. In the United States, the sedan and coupe did not come with a rear wiper, so there is no blade size to replace. If you have a hatchback variant from markets that offered a rear wiper, the blade is typically 11 inches long (about 28 cm).
The question varies by model and market. This article explains which configurations have a rear wiper and what size to use, along with tips to verify the correct blade for your car.
Model and market differences
The following scenarios cover the most common configurations you might encounter and their rear wiper blade sizes or absence thereof.
- US-market 2013 Civic Sedan and Coupe — no rear wiper installed; therefore no blade size to replace.
- Non-US markets or specific hatchback variants known to offer a rear wiper in 2013 — rear blade length is about 11 inches (28 cm).
Bottom line: For most 2013 Civics in the US, there is no rear wiper; if your car is a hatchback variant from other markets that included one, expect an 11-inch blade. Always verify with your manual or parts catalog if you’re unsure.
How to confirm the correct size
To be certain, identify your bodystyle and check the owner's manual or a parts catalog. If you already have the blade, measure it from tip to tip to confirm length.
Measuring tips
If you need to measure manually, remove the blade and lay it flat along a ruler or tape measure. Measure from the far tip to the other tip. Also check the connector type (for example, J-hook, pin, or side-pin) to ensure compatibility with your wiper arm.
Follow these steps to verify and replace the blade properly:
- Identify your vehicle’s exact market and body style to confirm whether a rear wiper is standard.
- If a rear wiper exists, remove the old blade according to the blade’s release mechanism.
- Measure the blade length or check the part number in the owner's manual or an online parts catalog; for 2013 Civics with a rear wiper, the standard size is typically 11 inches.
- Purchase an 11-inch replacement blade compatible with your wiper arm connector.
This process helps ensure you buy the correct size and fit for your specific vehicle configuration.
Summary
The rear wiper blade size for a 2013 Honda Civic is not universal. US-spec sedans and coupes generally do not have a rear wiper, so no replacement size applies. If your 2013 Civic is a hatchback variant from markets that offered a rear wiper, the blade is typically 11 inches long. Always confirm by checking the owner's manual or a trusted parts catalog for your exact market and body style.
