For a 2008 Honda CR-V, you typically need front wipers sized 26 inches on the driver side and 17 inches on the passenger side, plus an 11-inch rear wiper. If you're using Michelin blades, choose those sizes in a Michelin-front set and ensure the rear matches 11 inches.
The 2008 CR-V is a third-generation model. Wiper sizes have been consistent across most trims, but some markets may vary slightly. This guide covers the standard setup and Michelin-compatible options.
Front wiper sizes
Use the sizes below for the front of most 2008 Honda CR-Vs. Front blades are measured in inches and are sold as pairs or as individual replacements.
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 17 inches
Conclusion: Using 26-inch and 17-inch blades covers the front windshield for this model year; if your car has aftermarket trims or modifications, verify the lengths by measuring the blades or checking the packaging for compatibility with the CR-V.
Rear wiper size
The 2008 Honda CR-V typically uses a single rear blade, usually sized at 11 inches, though some markets may vary; check your specific vehicle if you are unsure.
- Rear wiper blade: 11 inches
Conclusion: An 11-inch rear blade fits most 2008 CR-V models straight from the factory; if your rear window setup requires something different, verify with the owner's manual or a parts specialist.
Tips for choosing Michelin blades and verifying fit
When shopping for Michelin wipers, look for sets labeled for Honda CR-V 2007-2011 (or specifically 2008) and confirm the blade lengths match 26", 17", and 11" as applicable. Michelin offers several blade designs (beam, hybrid) that fit the same lengths. If you’re unsure, bring the current blades or the vehicle’s year/model to a store for comparison.
How to confirm exact sizes on your vehicle
If you want to double-check, you can:
- Consult the owner's manual for the recommended blade lengths for the front and rear wipers.
- Remove the existing blades and measure their length from end to end.
- Ask a parts counter at a Honda dealership or use an online parts catalog by entering year, make, and model.
Conclusion: Double-checking ensures you purchase the right sizes, especially if your CR-V has aftermarket or non-standard modifications. The most common sizes for the 2008 CR-V are 26" (driver), 17" (passenger), and 11" (rear).
Summary: For a 2008 Honda CR-V, front wipers typically require 26-inch and 17-inch blades, with an 11-inch rear blade. Michelin-branded blades are available in these sizes and fit the CR-V’s front and rear wipers. Always verify fitment with the manual or a parts specialist if your vehicle has any unique trim or aftermarket alterations.
