Front wiper blade sizes for the 2005 Honda Accord
Front blades on the 2005 Accord are installed as a two-blade setup with different lengths on each side to maximize windshield coverage.
- Driver's side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger's side blade: 17 inches
Using the correct paired sizes ensures full windshield coverage and avoids streaking or interference with the wiper arms at high speeds.
Note on regional or trim variations
Some markets or specific trims may use slightly different sizes. Always verify by checking the blade packaging or the owner’s manual if your vehicle is not a standard US-spec sedan.

Bottom line: for the common US sedan configuration, there is no rear wiper blade to replace.
How to verify sizes and replace the blades
Use these steps to confirm the correct blade sizes and complete a safe replacement.
- Check the owner’s manual or the door placard for the exact blade sizes recommended by Honda for your vehicle.
- If you don’t have packaging handy, remove the current blades and measure them from the mounting point to the tip on each side.
- Purchase blades labeled for 26 inches (driver) and 17 inches (passenger) front wipers, and confirm the mounting hardware compatibility.
- Install the new blades according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blades click securely into place.
- Test the wipers at low speed to verify smooth operation and full coverage without interference.
Following these steps helps ensure you have the correct blades and a clean, streak-free wipe across the windshield.
