Thanks! I found that replacing Honda wiper inserts is frustrating the first time I replaced mine, now that I know a few tricks it's super easy and only takes a couple of minutes. I've never had a Honda with a rear wiper, but I bet it's the same type of insert.
Excellent video Bob! Thanks! For me, I forget most of how I did it the last time by the time I need to do it again, and getting the metal rods to stay in also used to frustrate me a lot. After watching this I felt confident to get the job done. The clips idea was key for me. I used rubber bands instead of clips (didn't have any). Thanks for the inspection tips too. The closed end on the wiper blade ending on the assembly side that sweeps closest to the lower window is important (it prevents the blade from creeping out of place).
WOW! The TOWEL is the most important thing! I was replacing my blades on a Silverado and I accidentally bumped the arm when my blade was off and I hit and destroyed my windshield on a 2 year old silverado. Great info!!!!!!! Now i always take that towel and it’s the FIRST thing I do!!!! Doing my crv inserts today! TY!
wow i was struggling to keep the metal arm in place. this is replacing a rear wiper blade on 11 crv. the blade just kept moving couldn’t hold it still your clip trick did it for me. Thanks
The OEM blades are rubber. I have tried Anco, Bosch, Trico, Rain-X and a few other brands of rubber and silicone blades, but I ended up liking the OEM ones the best.
On my '21, dealer had put the 650mm refill and blade on passenger side (noticed overhang on windshield molding) w/ stopper end facing away from the pivot point. I quickly fixed THEIR error. Great videos, keep them coming~!
I kinda feel bad for the dealer mechanics, every job has a designated time allotment and those time allotments are sometimes unrealistic so they have to rush and sometimes mistakes are made. Good thing you checked and corrected the backwards blade, it would really suck to have that come loose in a heavy rainstorm.
They Honda OEM blade refills, you can get them at any Honda dealership, several Honda dealers also sell parts on-line and even Amazon has them for sale.

Amazing no comments. This is the best tutorial by far. Just need to include the rear. I've got the arm off but the blade is hard to figure out.

same.
Looks too easy watching the procedure…now wish me luck doing it myself. Thanks for the demonstration.
Thank you, thank you thank you so much for this and amazing find about the clothes pins
Thanks for letting me know this was helpful!
Where is the towel to protect the paint from scratches from those metal splines.
Thankfully the splines have smooth edges and are very light, but a towel isn't a bad idea.

Thanks!! My 2019 Honda Passport has the same wiper arm release tab on the top as the Ridgeline, in case someone needs to know.
Are these blades silicone or rubber?
