How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Fit?
2 Answers
The steps to replace the wiper blades on a Fit are: 1. Press the lock on the end of the wiper arm hook inward; 2. Pull the wiper bracket downward and slide the wiper blade out backward; 3. Shake the removed wiper blade to loosen the two metal strips embedded inside; 4. Install the metal strips onto the new wiper blade and reattach it to the wiper bracket. The Fit is a compact car produced by GAC Honda, with body dimensions of 4065 mm in length, 1695 mm in width, 1525 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2530 mm. The Fit is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 96 kW at 6600 rpm, paired with a CVT transmission.
I've changed the wiper blades on my Fit many times, and it's quite simple. First, turn off the car to ensure safety and prevent the wiper arm from suddenly falling. Then, lift the wiper arm to a vertical position to expose the connector clip. The Fit uses a common hook-type design—just press the small button with your thumb or pull directly to remove the old blade. New wiper blades usually come with an adapter; align it with the arm hook, push it in until you hear a click, and it's securely installed. When selecting new blades, check the correct size—the Fit typically uses 26 inches for the driver side and 14 inches for the passenger side. Opting for branded blades helps reduce noise. After installation, spray some water to test if the blades wipe cleanly. Replace them every six months or when you notice wear—doing it yourself costs just a few dollars and saves both money and hassle. Making this a habit ensures clearer visibility in the rain and safer driving.
