The 2017 Honda HR-V typically uses 26-inch driver-side and 17-inch passenger-side front blades, with a 12-inch rear blade. Always verify the exact sizes for your vehicle using the owner's manual or a parts lookup for your VIN.
Front wiper blade sizes
The front blades are mounted on separate arms and may have slightly different lengths depending on production year or market. Here are the commonly used front blade lengths for the 2017 HR-V.
- Driver-side front blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 17 inches (some regional or production variations use 18 inches)
To ensure the best fit, check the owner's manual or use a reputable parts catalog that can look up blades by year, make, model, and trim, or by your VIN.
Rear wiper blade size
The HR-V’s rear wiper blade is typically 12 inches in length.
- Rear blade: 12 inches
Double-check with the owner's manual or a parts retailer using your VIN to confirm the exact rear blade size for your vehicle.
How to confirm and replace
When purchasing wiper blades, you can confirm the correct sizes and replace them with a straightforward process.
- Check the owner's manual or the blade packaging for length specifications.
- Use Honda’s official parts lookup or a trusted retailer by entering year, make, model, and trimming, or your VIN.
- Measure your current blades if needed: the blade length is typically printed on the blade itself or can be measured from tip to tip.
Replacement steps are generally simple: lift the wiper arm, remove the old blade by releasing the locking tab or connector, attach the new blade following the packaging instructions, and gently lower the arm back into place.
Blade types and compatibility
Most drivers find that beam blades (also called all-weather or flat blades) offer better performance on modern windshields, though conventional blades are still common. Ensure the new blade is compatible with your HR-V’s attachment style (j-hook, bayonet, or pin) and that it matches the correct length for each position.
Summary
For the 2017 Honda HR-V, plan on front blades sized 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side, with a 12-inch rear blade. Always verify exact lengths for your specific vehicle using the owner's manual, official Honda parts lookup, or a VIN-based parts search to ensure a precise fit and optimal visibility.
