Front wipers on the 2008 Honda Fit use two different blade lengths: 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger side. The rear wiper uses a single 10-inch blade.
The 2008 Fit, part of the first-generation Jazz/Fit lineup, follows a common pattern for compact hatchbacks: a longer driver's-side blade to sweep more area and a shorter passenger-side blade. The rear wiper, mounted on the hatch, is smaller and typically 10 inches. This article breaks down the exact sizes and how to verify them when shopping for replacements.
Front wiper blade sizes
To ensure full coverage and proper contact with the windshield, the front blades are sized differently on each side. Here are the standard measurements for the 2008 Fit.
- Driver’s side: 26 inches
- Passenger’s side: 16 inches
When replacing, you’ll want to purchase two blades of the correct sizes or a dual-blade assembly designed for two different lengths. Having both blades replaced at once helps maintain even wiping performance and ease of installation.
Rear wiper blade size
The rear wiper on the 2008 Honda Fit is a single, smaller blade used on the hatch glass.
- Rear: 10 inches
Rear blades are often sold individually; confirm you’re buying the 10-inch size that fits the hatch-mounted wiper arm. If your car has a aftermarket or different rear wiper configuration, measure the blade or consult the owner’s manual to be sure.
Summary
For a 2008 Honda Fit, replace the front driver’s blade with a 26-inch blade and the front passenger blade with a 16-inch blade. The rear blade should be 10 inches. Always verify by checking your current blades or the owner’s manual if you’re unsure, and consider replacing both front blades at the same time for best performance.
