The steps for replacing the wiper blades on the 10th generation Accord are as follows: 1. Move the wiper in the direction of the car's front until it reaches a specific position where it will lock in place. Press the wiper's release button while gently shaking and pulling the wiper blade upward to remove the old rubber blade. (Note: Gently return the wiper arm to its original position to avoid damaging both the glass and the wiper arm. Placing a cloth on the glass surface can prevent scratches). 2. Open the two small clips on the wiper and remove the old rubber blade. (Be careful with the force applied when removing the middle connector and the clips at both ends; the plastic ends on both sides should not be removed). 3. When reinstalling the rubber blade, you can slightly offset the two metal pieces of the wiper. The first groove is the correct position for inserting the rubber blade. Installing the new rubber blade requires some manual skill and patience—install one side first, then the other. 4. After installing the new rubber blade, follow the reverse order of the removal steps to complete the wiper installation.
I've been driving a 10th-generation Accord for several years, and changing the wiper blades myself is a routine task. First, prepare the new wiper blades—size is crucial. For the front, the Accord typically uses a 26-inch and 19-inch combination, while the rear might have a single 24-inch blade, depending on the year. When operating, gently lift the wiper arm to a vertical position, being careful not to let the spring snap back and hit the windshield. The old wiper blade has a clip design; just press the middle button or slide the groove to remove it. Installing the new one is simple: align the connector and push it in until you hear a 'click.' Finally, lower the wiper arm back and test the wiping effect with washer fluid. I recommend using a reputable brand like Bosch—the rubber is durable and quiet. The whole process takes less than ten minutes, saving you the hassle and hundreds of dollars from a repair shop. Clear visibility during rainy drives is super important for road safety, so checking every six months can prevent issues in advance.
