Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2012–2016 Honda CR-V?

Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.

J-hook front connectors. Some fitment charts list the rear as 13-in; Honda's OEM rear insert is ~12-in. Measure or match the old blade.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
