How To Change Honda CR-V Wiper Blade Inserts

How To Change Honda CR-V Wiper Blades
I found it cheaper to replace the rubber inserts rather then replacing the complete blade. Each rubber insert cost me roughly $7. Call the Honda parts department to inquire the price before heading there because some sell it cheaper then others.

I just did it! I am a middle-aged single female (very unlikely target audience :), never done any DIY's on cars before but I was able to change windshield wipers with your video this morning. With my work schedule, I just didn't have time to take my CRV (2014) to a shop just for windshield wiper replacement but, with recent increment weather, I knew working wipers were important for safety. So I ordered OEM parts from an online store and followed your instructions step by step. I am so thankful for your instructions and very proud of myself! I usually don't write anything online but this occasion will have to an exception. :) You may be an awkward hamster but you are a good mechanic!

+FairBrightWarm
Thank you. Glad to hear it worked out for you.

[@microbus2]

Perfect! Bought the inserts, but couldn't figure out how to replace. Video is still super useful, all these years later! THANKS!

[@georgesullivan4628]

I have been wanting new refills for months, but I am too cheap to pay the dealer. Finally I bought the refills saying, "How hard could it be?" I took one look and recognized that I did not know where to begin. I headed for UA-cam and found you. Bless you, I did it. Great instructions!

[@AwkwardHamster]

+George Sullivan
Thank you

[@tusseyd]

Just did exactly this on my 2015 Honda CRV. You saved me about $75 in labor. (Rubber inserts from Honda dealer were ~$12 each; total $38 for all three w/tax) Perfect instructions. Worked like a champ. Greatly appreciate you filming this.

[@AwkwardHamster]

Glad to hear this helped.

[@REDRYDER3001]

I've used this tutorial two or three times now (I don't change the inserts as frequently as you recommend -- so I always forget how to do it in the interim and need a refresher) on my 2014 Honda CR-V. Works every time!! Thanks so much for giving the part #s and for such a thorough, step-by-step video. You're more like AwesomeHamster! Thanks again! :)

[@michaelbeatrice3023]

This was like having a helpful neighbor come by and talk you through it. Even I could follow these instructions. Thanks, buddy!

[@AwkwardHamster]

+MICHAEL BEATRICE
Thank you.

[@NorthPaddle]

Thanks. On my truck I have always replaced the entire wiper. This was so much cheaper on my CRV. Three OEM inserts cost me about $22 at the dealer. Glad I found your video. 👍🏻

[@AwkwardHamster]

Excellent

[@keena1326]

I have to watch this video every two years....doing this again right now!

[@timeveritt3659]

So glad I found this. Everyone else is replacing their blades with aftermarket which changes the frame profile. Excellent video making the wiper refill process so easy. Only cost me about $17 for all 3 blades. Fronts were super easy as long as you keep track of the wiper blade orientation. Mine was a 2010 CRV and your instructions for the front applied just as well. My rear wiper blade was completely different and a pain. Thanks for doing this!

[@AwkwardHamster]

love to hear the good news

[@davekalemba1461]

Perfect instruction!! If this were E-Bay, I'd rate it A++++. Great image close up to verify that these are, in fact, my same wipers. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Total front/back wiper change for under $14.00. I never could understand why the parts houses started pulling refills off the shelves... and the wiper manufacturers playing the refills down. I guess there is just not enough profit in selling rubber - they need to make more money selling the complete wiper blades..

[@AwkwardHamster]

+Dave Kalemba
Thanks

[@blakethomas8897]

Thank you for posting this video!! Mine was not that easy to pull out. I had to use the needle nose pliers to assist in the pull. All in all, it took me 15 -17 minutes total to do both wipers after watching your video. That's including getting the needle nose pliers from the kitchen. Thanks again!

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thanks. Glad to hear it worked out.

[@patcasey5515]

Paid $40 for all 3 wipers at local dealership! Unbelievable! Thanks to your video I was able to insert them myself.

[@AwkwardHamster]

Cool

[@pierrechong1089]

This video was very helpful and I also decided to purchase the rubbers instead of the entire piece. Very quick and cost effective.

[@cathyfenner3875]

Just what I was looking for. My only problem was, I had to use a pliers to pull the rubber blade out of the passenger side wiper. But the video was a big help.

[@AwkwardHamster]

thanks

[@richardlerman394]

Hey....many thanks...boy taking out those old wiper blades is a challenge......I used vice grips to grab the end and pull. Your video was what got me going in the
right direction........

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thanks

[@mjen2812]

Thank you for posting this and with detail! I was was able to replace my rubber inserts on my own because of your video :)

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thank you. I’m glad to hear this helped.

[@palmbaylou]

Your video was the fourth one I viewed and the best explanation. Thank you.

[@AwkwardHamster]

[@1g2002541]

great video! I was gonna buy new wiper blade, but glad to know honda is offering insert refills. Good for the environment !

[@AwkwardHamster]

thank you

[@Cheesy402]

Thanks for the video. The instructions in the owner's manual were a bit vague, so I found your video helpful.

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thank you

[@inswingone]

Great video. Thank you so much for step by step procedure. As someone already mentioned, be very careful with the wiper arm. Be sure to gently lower if after removing the blades. Just in case pushing does not work to remove the inserts, pull them. I had to pull it for both driver and passenger wipers.

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thanks.

[@earnhar768]

Thanks, this was the tutorial I was looking for. I think they changed the design on the newer CRV’s so I was looking for instructions for the metal pieces on wiper inserts.

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thanks for watching

[@raymondtorres593]

thank you for your easy to replace the rubber blade plus the part number...great job

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thank you

[@johngreenough5627]

Thanks. If there is a Honda parts center near you, I suggest going there to pick up the inserts. I tried ordering online before and shipping was roughly $6.

[@AwkwardHamster]

+Chris Honzy
....next time I make one of these videos, I'll suggest wearing gloves.

[@MrHonzyboy]

+AwkwardHamster lol, I'm just a little clumsy, and the parts were all stuck together as they had not been changed in quite a while! Actually, if you want to do anything, just write or read the parts numbers as they are hard to see on the video. Thanks again for a very helpful video!

[@AwkwardHamster]

+Chris Honzy
Thanks.
I also listed all the part numbers in the description of the video.

Thank you ... very useful ..

[@kyleslade4324]

You need to pisition the camera on what you are doing. The part i actually wanted to see which was attaching the wiper to the arm. the camera was pointed at the bottom of the wiper blade. You said, see, i could not because your camera was not on what you were doing.

I wish someone else was filming so you could demo without the camera shacking so much!
By the way, you should list what year your Honda is in the title and/or description. My 2016 back wiper looks nothing like whatever year you have on the video.

BIG MISTAKE in this video!
Make SURE you place a very thick towel or other item to protect the windshield. If that spring-loaded wiper arm pops against the windshield, replacing the wiper blade won't be your biggest problem!

[@farhanhukama7458]

Thanks

[@banjotramp1]

very clear

[@AwkwardHamster]

Thanks

[@barbaraguzman2625]

How different is this for a 2011 CRV?

[@AwkwardHamster]

+Barbara Guzman
Installation steps are identical. But ask them to check the part number when purchasing the blade inserts.

[@intelicron4523]

@@AwkwardHamster Yes, I just did this on my 2011 and it was identical so it probably applies to all 2007-2011 Third Generation CR-V's. On mine there is a directional arrow with the word "Set" engraved on the wiper arm which apparently shows the direction to slide the new insert on. One would push it in the opposite direction to remove the insert. Thanks for this great video!
