How To Replace Honda Wiper Inserts

Are your wipers streaking, chirping or no longer cleaning like they should? Chances are you need some new wiper inserts.

*Some Honda models may vary.

Step 1 –  Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and activate the wipers. When the wipers are in the upright position, turn
the ignition switch off. Raise the wiper arms.
