How to Replace Windshield Wiper Arms 07-11 Honda CR-V

Difficulty: Beginner · About 25 min · Honda Cr-v

Replace the windshield wiper arms on a 2007–2011 Honda CR-V while preserving the original blade park position for correct sweep alignment.

Steps

1. Mark the parked position

   Park the wipers in their normal resting position and switch off the ignition. Place painter’s tape along each blade edge on the windshield to record its location.

2. Remove the old arm

   Lift the arm-end cap and remove its retaining nut. Rock the arm gently at the pivot to loosen it from the splines, then lift it away without scratching the glass.

3. Install the replacement arm

   Place the new arm on the pivot and align its blade with the tape mark. Start the nut by hand and tighten it to the vehicle specification, then press the cap closed.

4. Check the wiper sweep

   Remove the tape and operate the wipers with the windshield wet. Confirm both blades park correctly and do not strike the trim or each other.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
