How do I put windshield wipers on a Honda Accord?
My windshield wipers have uneven edges, are worn out, and not working effectively anymore. How do I install new windshield wipers on a Honda?

You’re right—uneven edges are a sign to replace your windshield wipers. In fact, it is best to replace your wipers every six to 12 months.
- Order the correct blades for your vehicle. You can refer to your owner’s manual or do a quick Google search to figure out what you need.
- Starting on the driver’s side, raise the wiper blade. Raise the passenger-side blade next.
- Again, working from the driver’s side first, locate the pinch clip. Squeeze the two clips together to loosen the hold on the blade.
- Slide the wiper blade downward to remove it. Remember the wiper hook is spring-loaded, so be careful not to touch the windshield with the hook. It has the potential to crack your windshield. If you are worried, lay a towel on the windshield.
- Locate the locking latch on the new wiper blade near the connector. Push the latch upwards to position the hook to point at the wiper connector.
- Insert the hook upward in the holder. When you hear a click sound, it is locked in place. Or if you have a pinch clip-type holder, apply pressure to open the holder to slide the new blade in.
- Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the passenger-side wiper.
- Fold the wipers back down.
- Get in the driver’s seat. Turn your car on and use the windshield wash function to test the new blades.
