The rear wiper blade size for the 2020 Honda Fit is 12 inches (30 cm).
In practice, the rear window wiper is smaller than the front blades and needs the correct length to keep the glass clear. This article breaks down the exact size and how to check and replace it.
Confirming the correct size
To ensure you buy the right blade, use these steps to verify the length before purchasing.
- Measure the current blade from tip to tip; for the 2020 Fit, the rear blade is typically 12 inches.
- Consult the owner's manual or Honda's official parts catalogs for the exact specification.
- If you shop in a store, compare the packaging to a 12-inch rear blade or ask a staff member to verify compatibility with a 2020 Honda Fit.
Following these checks helps you avoid ordering the wrong size and ensures proper glass contact for effective wiping.
Blade types and compatibility
Rear wiper blades come in two common designs. Choose based on availability and your preference, ensuring the attachment method matches your car’s wiper arm.
- 12-inch blades are available in both beam (frameless) and traditional frame styles.
- Make sure the blade’s mounting adapter matches the 2020 Fit’s rear wiper arm (some arms use a pin/clip, others may require a different connector).
In practice, whichever design you choose, ensure it is listed as compatible with the 2020 Honda Fit or similar Honda hatchbacks.
Installation tips
When replacing the blade, follow these simple steps to ensure a secure fit and proper operation.
- Turn the wiper off and gently lift the wiper arm away from the glass until it rests at an angle.
- Release the old blade from its connector using the release tab or lever, then slide or pivot it out of the arm.
- Attach the new blade by sliding it into the arm’s connector until you hear a click, then lower the arm back to the glass.
- Test the wiper with the blade dry, then with water to ensure full coverage and no streaking.
Always consult the blade’s installation instructions for any model-specific steps or safety cautions.
Summary
For a 2020 Honda Fit, use a 12-inch rear wiper blade. Confirm the size by measuring the existing blade or consulting the owner's manual, and choose a blade design (beam or frame) that matches your preference and stock mounting. Replacement is straightforward and helps maintain rear visibility in all weather.
