Wiper Refills
Hi All
I may just be an idiot here, but I can't find anything on a search.
I have a 2015...I went to replace the wiper inserts the first time and had a hell of a time. The little end caps were a nightmare. I'll admit I am super impatient and ended up messing them up to get them off.
I ended up buying a new end cap because I wrecked the original one. The new one flew off at some point...I clearly damaged the blade holder part.
I have always preferred to replace just the blade inserts due to cost. Is there an easy way, or should I just switch to aftermarket wipers?
Thanks!
Rick

Page 378 in this manual (http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/p...AT5A1616OM.pdf), 380 in the 2015 manual. It was pretty easy when I did mine. I think they were around $5-6 a piece online.
Changing the Front Wiper Blade Rubber
1. Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2. Press and hold the tab, then slide the blade
from the wiper arm.
3. Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by
pulling the tabbed end out.
4. Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder
from the bottom end.
u The tab on the blade should fit in the
indent of the top of the wiper holder.
5. Slide the wiper blade onto the wiper arm
securely.
6. Lower the passenger side wiper arm first,
then the driver side.
Changing the Rear Wiper Blade Rubber
1. Raise the wiper arm off.
2. Pivot up the bottom end of the wiper blade
until it comes off from the wiper arm.
3. Slide the wiper blade out from the end with
the indent.
4. Remove the retainers from the rubber blade
that has been removed, and mount to a
new rubber blade.
5. Slide the wiper blade onto the holder.
* Make sure it is engaged correctly, then
install the wiper blade assembly onto the
wiper arm.

So I am a total idiot. All I had to do was read the manual. I seriously would have expected the manual to tell you to replace the whole blade and not just the insert.
I never even had to take the end caps off. Brilliant. Now to order entirely new blades so I have ones with the end caps attached, and then I can buy inserts from now on.
