The front wiper blades are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side, while the rear wiper blade is 12 inches.
For the 2017 Honda CR-V, the windshield wiper setup uses two different front blade lengths to suit the large driver-side sweep and the smaller passenger-side sweep, plus a dedicated rear blade for the back window. Wiper sizes can vary by market or trim, so it’s wise to confirm with your owner’s manual or measure the blades if you’re unsure.
Front Wipers: Size and Fit
Before listing the exact sizes, note that the 2017 CR-V uses two front blades of different lengths. This helps cover the curved windshield more effectively and reduce streaking.
- Driver's side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger's side front blade: 17 inches
The correct front blade sizes ensure full coverage and proper contact with the glass, minimizing streaks and skip spray at the wiper park position.
Replacement tips for the front wipers
When buying replacement blades, choose the blade type you prefer (conventional frame blades or beam blades) and verify compatibility with your vehicle’s mounting adapters. Always confirm you’re selecting the 26" and 17" lengths for the two front positions.
Rear Wiper: Size and Fit
The rear window on the 2017 CR-V uses a single, shorter blade to clear the hatch area and rear glass.
- Rear blade: 12 inches
Rear wiper size is typically smaller because the rear window is narrower and has a different sweep pattern from the front windshield.
Rear wiper replacement tips
For the rear blade, ensure you’re getting a 12" blade with the correct style of attachment for your CR-V model year. Some aftermarket blades come with adapters to fit multiple rear hatch wiper arms.
Summary
In summary, a 2017 Honda CR-V takes front wiper blades of 26 inches (driver’s side) and 17 inches (passenger side), plus a 12-inch rear blade. Always verify with your owner’s manual or a parts professional if you’re unsure, and choose OEM or compatible aftermarket blades that match these lengths for optimal visibility.
