The standard front wiper blades for a 2012 Honda CR-V are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side. If your model has a rear window wiper, the blade is typically about 11 inches.
Front windshield wiper sizes
Below are the typical front blade lengths used on most 2012 CR-Vs. Sizes can vary with aftermarket replacements, so it's wise to double-check before purchasing.
- Driver's side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger's side blade: 17 inches
Front blade length is the main consideration for replacement, while blade design (beam vs. conventional, winter-specific) can affect performance in different conditions.
Rear windshield wiper size
Many 2012 CR-V models equipped with a rear window wiper use an 11-inch blade. If your vehicle does not have a rear wiper, this size does not apply.
- Rear blade: 11 inches
If you’re unsure whether your CR-V has a rear wiper or you’re replacing the rear blade for the first time, check the owner’s manual or measure the existing blade to confirm.
Additional tips
How to confirm the correct size
If you’re uncertain, remove the old blade and measure it, or bring the blade to an auto parts store to match. You can also consult the vehicle’s owner manual or a dealership for exact specifications by VIN.
Also consider blade material and winter performance for your climate—the 26"/17" front blades are standard for this model year, but winter-rated blades offer improved performance in cold weather.
Summary
For a 2012 Honda CR-V, plan on replacing front blades with 26-inch driver-side and 17-inch passenger-side blades, and an 11-inch rear blade if your model includes a rear wiper. Always verify dimensions for your specific vehicle if in doubt, using the owner’s manual or a parts specialist.
