The typical setup on most Honda CR-V models is a 26-inch driver-side front blade and a 17-inch passenger-side front blade, with a smaller rear blade around 12 inches. Exact sizes can vary by year and trim, so always verify with your owner's manual or the blade packaging.
Front wiper blade sizes
Below is a quick guide to the front blade lengths you’ll most commonly encounter on modern CR-V models. Variations exist by generation, so use this as a starting point and confirm for your exact year.
- Driver-side/front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side/front blade: 17 inches
These two lengths cover the vast majority of CR-Vs built in the last decade. If your windshield area seems undersized or oversized for the blades you’re replacing, double-check with your manual or a parts professional before purchasing.
Rear wiper blade size
The rear wiper on most CR-V models is a smaller single blade. In typical configurations, the rear blade is about 12 inches, though a few years/models may use 11–13 inches. Always verify your exact year to avoid an ill-fitting replacement.
- Rear blade length: around 12 inches (verify for your year/model)
For rear blades, the most reliable approach is to check the original blade for a length stamp or consult the owner’s manual or dealership parts desk to confirm the correct size.
How to verify the exact size for your specific year
If you want to be certain you buy the right blades for your exact CR-V, follow these checks:
- Check the owner's manual or the vehicle’s door jamb sticker for wiper blade specifications.
- Inspect the original blades for size markings (often stamped on the blade itself or on the blade packaging).
- Remove the current blades and measure the length from tip to tip while the blade is at rest on the windshield.
- Provide your vehicle’s year, trim, and VIN to a reputable auto parts retailer to confirm compatibility.
By confirming with one of these methods, you’ll ensure you get the correct lengths and avoid fitment issues or reduced visibility.
Summary
For most modern Honda CR-V models, plan on front blades of 26 inches (driver side) and 17 inches (passenger side), with a rear blade around 12 inches. However, sizes can vary by generation and year, so always verify with the owner’s manual or by checking the current blades. When in doubt, consult a parts professional with your vehicle details to ensure a precise match.
