Which wiper blades?

Some sources list the driver side as 26" and some say 28. And 13 or 14 for the passenger side. Which sizes fit best? l have a 2017 LX.

I never buy anything but Valeo Ultimates.

Get out your tape measure. I measured them at 28 and 14.

fitment guides def differ, but the majority seem to point to 28 LH + 14 RH

me being the famously cheap person that I am .... I noticed (at the time of purchase) that 15s were cheaper than 14s. I went ahead and ordered both sizes .... and I discovered that 15s (1 size up) works fine!

I put Bosch Icon's on my son's Fit. I bought what the parts stores said would work. They fit & work well.

Theres a seller on eBay that sells the OEM refills for like $20 shipped. I think the fronts are 700mm.

One of my local dealers wanted to charge $35 and had a few days wait since they werent in stock. Not making that mistake again.

WOW

you know the funny thing is, for a 2017 lx they say 18/28
but for a 2015 lx they put down the correct sizes of 14/28

if I were in your shoes Bill, I'd whip out a tape measure to be sure




OH and thanks for creating this conversation everyone, I personally purchased that 28 for $4.78. woo hoo!!!
