For the 2004 Honda Accord, the standard blade sizes are 26 inches on the driver's side and 17 inches on the passenger's side. This pairing fits the majority of US-spec four-door and two-door models from that year.
Wiper sizes can vary by body style and market. If your Accord is a different trim, coupe versus sedan, or you’re outside North America, your exact sizes may differ. The guidance below covers the most common configuration and how to verify yours.
Standard wiper sizes for the 2004 Accord
The sizes listed here apply to the most common 2004 Accord configurations, especially the sedan. Use them as a starting point, but confirm for your exact vehicle.
- Driver’s side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger’s side blade: 17 inches
Replacing both blades with these lengths generally ensures full windshield coverage and proper contact. If you notice streaking or uneven wear, re-check the sizes against your current blades or vehicle documentation.
How to verify the size for your specific car
To confirm the exact sizes for your individual vehicle, you can follow these steps:
- Check the owner’s manual or a parts catalog for your exact model and year; wiper size is usually listed in maintenance or replacement sections.
- Inspect the packaging or labeling on your current blades for the lengths (the numbers are typically printed on the blade or packaging).
- Measure the blades directly: fully extend the wipers and measure from the center pivot to the tip on each blade.
If you’re replacing just one blade, ensure you match the length of the blade on that specific side. When in doubt, bring the old blade or your vehicle’s details to a parts counter to confirm compatibility.
Body style variations
Some 2004 Accord variants, such as the coupe or regional market models, may use slightly different lengths. Always verify for your exact body style and market region to avoid mismatches.
What to buy
When shopping, you’ll typically purchase two blades sized to the car’s front: one 26-inch blade for the driver’s side and one 17-inch blade for the passenger side. You’ll also decide between blade styles and seasonal suitability based on climate and driving conditions.
- Two blades: 26 inches (driver) and 17 inches (passenger)
- Blade style: traditional framed blades or beam (frameless) blades, depending on preference and performance
- Seasonal option: consider winter-rated blades in cold climates for improved performance
Choosing the correct blades and keeping them in good condition will help maintain visibility in rain and snow and extend blade life.
Summary
The typical replacement sizes for a 2004 Honda Accord are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side. Always verify for your exact body style and regional market, and replace both blades if they are worn or streaky. Proper maintenance of wiper blades improves visibility and safety in adverse weather.
