I cannot order a replacement blade for the rear wiper on amazon in canada without giving the trim level for my 2009 Fit. It is a basic model with manual 5spd transmission. Can anyone tell me from the photo? My choices are LX or DX. Or please tell me no-one on the still has this detail. I couldn't find anything online. Just sport vs basic.

Love everything about my fit, except seats

 

I think that all trims would get the same rear wiper. So the blade should be also the same...

If you really want to know the trim level, it is supposed to be written on the sticker inside the driver door. Also, you can call your Honda dealer with your VIN and they will tell you.

 

I found my original receipt and there is no trim level listed. My car also visually has no trim. Talk about a silly requirement. The sellers on amazon canada won't tell you if the wiper blade will fit your car because you must use this tool that insists on a trim package. I have always gone to an autparts store, browsed the wiper blades to find one listed as fitting my car.

 

I replacement rubber wiper blade insert can be purchased from Honda as long as the blades are original for less than $10.00. Never remove oem Honda blades IMO I replace the inserts twice a year it’s a great design.

 

Agree. I accidentally ordered full replacement blades once, and a helpful but wasteful friend removed my OEM blades and tossed them. Seriously regret that mistake. I don't understand why people don't just replace the rubber part! That said, this time I had to order full part because that is what I could get in a remote Canadian fishing village. My car passed state inspection just before my trip with a torn, non-working wiper blade! Just hope the part fits.

thanks for the help.

 

The rear wiper is easy, just get the Bosch replacement below and toss the old one. $10 from Amazon. Could not remove rubber insert from the old one. I also use the Bosch Icon blades on the front wipers. Smooth wipe! Other metal frame style (even OEM) grab and chatter horribly.


Also, it's fun to reverse the direction on the rear wiper, so it points up out of your vision when stopped. Remove inner hatch panel, unbolt wiper motor, unscrew case halves, lift link bar up and rotate the gear 180°. This will make it run in reverse. Reassemble, but with wiper pointed up. Adjust arm so bottom of travel is level on window. Below is the original how-to w/photos.

Contact your local Honda dealer. They will for sure have the correct parts for you.
