Front wiper blades are 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger’s side; the Civic Hatchback adds a rear blade of about 11 inches. This article explains the sizes by body style and offers practical tips for replacement and compatibility.
For most 2020 Civics, the front wipers use a 26" driver-side blade and a 16" passenger-side blade. The rear wiper exists only on the Hatchback variant, and its blade is typically around 11 inches. The sizes are generally the same across trims, but always confirm with your owner’s manual or the blade packaging if you’re unsure.
Front wiper blade sizes
Below are the standard front blade sizes used on the 2020 Honda Civic across most trims and body styles with factory-equivalent blades.
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 16 inches
These are the common front-wiper sizes for the 2020 Civic. If you own a different trim or consider aftermarket blades, verify fit before purchase by checking the packaging or vehicle manual.
Rear wiper blade (hatchback models)
The rear wiper is available on the Civic Hatchback; sedan and coupe models typically do not have a rear wiper. The rear blade size for the Hatchback is usually about 11 inches.
- Rear blade (Civic Hatchback): 11 inches
For sedan and coupe owners, no rear wiper blade is required. If you have a Hatchback and need a replacement, use an 11-inch blade from Honda or a compatible aftermarket option.
Replacement tips and where to buy
Before buying, confirm the exact fit for your vehicle and note that some aftermarket blades are sold in pairs or in sets designed for specific seasons or weather conditions.
- Check your owner's manual or the blade packaging for the precise sizes (front: 26" and 16"; rear (if applicable): 11").
- Purchase blades labeled 26" (driver), 16" (passenger), and 11" (rear, if you have the Hatchback).
- Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield and locate the release mechanism on the blade.
- Depress the release tab and slide the old blade off the arm’s adaptor.
- Attach the new blade by sliding it onto the adaptor until it clicks securely in place.
- Lower the arm back to the windshield and test the wipe to ensure proper contact and coverage.
Replacement intervals vary by climate and usage, but expect to check blades annually and replace them if you notice skipping, streaking, or reduced visibility during rain. OEM blades or high-quality aftermarket options tend to perform best.
Summary
For a 2020 Honda Civic, plan to use 26-inch driver-side and 16-inch passenger-side front wiper blades. If you own a Civic Hatchback, you’ll also need an approximately 11-inch rear blade. Always verify sizes with the owner’s manual or blade packaging and replace blades in a set when possible for optimal performance.
