Replacement wiper blade solution for Honda Fit

[Jeff618]

:mad: Honda did a pretty good job trying to get you back to the dealer for wipers...

The Honda Fit’s 14" passenger side and 28” driver side replacement windshield wiper blades are very hard to find in the newer-style beam blades. The 12" rear is also very hard to find because it’s a special rear blade that fits the special rear arm.

After a ton of research, I found an aftermarket set-up that works: 'Trico NeoForm Beam Blades' on the front (yes, they have a 14" & 28”) and 'Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blade' for the rear (yes, it fits the special rear arm and looks like the original). All of the above come with step-by-step, illustrated removal and replacement instructions - easy install. Got the whole set-up online.

Hey, Jeff-

Thanks for posting some good info. On my GD I tried one after-market brand of replacement wipers with almost, but not quite successful fit. When my GE blades need to be replaced, I will try your recommendation. The weird wiper blades are a particularly irritating quirk of the Fit's design. Welcome to the forums!

Good info.

Timing in life is everything I guess... As a follow-up to my post above, I just got an email from wipers123.com and Trico has a $15 rebate on NeoForms through 5/15/10. They also sent me an additional $5 instant coupon "springreturningcustomer" (orders over $30) not sure when it expires... Help yourself if you'd like!

Godspeed

Thanks! This just goes to show that good info. can come from strange sources. In this case, from a busty Octoberfest serving wench called Jeff. :D
