The front wiper blades for a 2017 Honda Civic are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 17 inches on the passenger side. If you own a Civic Hatchback, there is also a rear wiper blade about 11 inches long; sedans and coupes typically do not have a rear wiper.
Across the 2017 Civic lineup, the front blades use standard lengths, while the rear blade, when present, is a separate, shorter size. If you’re unsure about your specific model, check the owner’s manual or the blade packaging to confirm the exact dimensions before buying replacements. Replacing blades in pairs is often recommended for even wear and balanced performance.
Front wiper blade sizes
These are the two front positions you’ll commonly replace on most 2017 Civics. Confirm the exact lengths on your vehicle if you have aftermarket trims or atypical specifications.
- Driver's side: 26 inches
- Passenger side: 17 inches
Front blades are typically sold as a two-blade set compatible with these sizes, and the two-sided wear should be balanced by replacing them together when possible.
Rear wiper blade (if applicable)
Only the Civic Hatchback generally includes a rear wiper. The rear blade is shorter, and the size is commonly around 11 inches, though some listings may show 11–12 inches depending on trim or aftermarket options.
- Rear blade: about 11 inches (if your hatchback is equipped with one)
If your Civic is a sedan or coupe, there is typically no rear wiper, so there’s nothing to replace on the rear window.
How to verify the right size and replace wipers
To ensure you have the correct blades and replace them safely, follow these steps:
- Check the current blade size on the vehicle or consult the owner's manual to confirm length for each position.
- Purchase blades in the correct lengths: 26" driver, 17" passenger; rear ~11" if your model has one.
- Lift the wiper arm away from the glass and locate the release mechanism on the blade.
- Remove the old blade by sliding it out of the connector or unclipping the release tab.
- Attach the new blade by sliding it onto the arm until it clicks, then gently lower the arm back to the glass.
- Test the wipers across a dry run to ensure proper seating and unobstructed movement.
Regular replacement is advised every 12 months or sooner if you notice streaking, skipping, or poor performance.
Summary
For a 2017 Honda Civic, plan for 26-inch driver-side and 17-inch passenger-side front wiper blades. If you have a Civic Hatchback, add an approximately 11-inch rear blade; sedans and coupes typically do not have a rear wiper. Always verify sizes with the manual or the replacement packaging, and consider replacing front blades as a pair for even wear. Regular maintenance helps ensure clear visibility in all driving conditions.
