The typical replacement for a 2004 Honda Accord sedan is a 26-inch driver-side blade and a 16-inch passenger-side blade. Coupe variants can differ by trim, so it’s wise to verify the exact sizes for your specific model.
This article outlines the common blade lengths by body style and then outlines a practical process to confirm the correct sizes for your car before purchasing replacements. Factors such as market region and trim level can influence the exact lengths, so checking your current blades or the owner’s manual is recommended.
Blade sizes by body style
Sizes vary between the four-door sedan and the two-door coupe. The lists below reflect the most commonly used configurations for the 2004 Accord in North America.
Sedan (four-door)
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 16 inches
The sedan configuration described above is the standard setup many owners replace with 26" and 16" blades. If your car seems to have different lengths, double-check using the steps in the verification section.
Coupe (two-door)
- Driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 18 inches
Coupe models commonly use a longer passenger-side blade, often 18 inches, though some trims may differ. Always confirm with your vehicle’s documentation or measurement before purchasing.
How to verify and choose the right wipers
Use these steps to confirm the correct blade lengths for your car and to select appropriate replacement options.
- Inspect the current wiper blades to read any length markings or model numbers printed on them.
- Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s specifications for the exact blade sizes by body style and year.
- Measure the blades if markings are unclear: remove one blade and measure from the center of the blade’s mounting point to the tip, across the blade’s length.
- Use an online blade finder or retailer tool by entering year, make, model, and body style to confirm compatible sizes.
- Consider local climate when selecting blade type (beam blades for better contact in cold weather, or all-weather blades for harsher conditions).
Following these steps helps ensure you purchase the correct sizes for your 2004 Accord and maintain optimal visibility in variable weather conditions.
