2012–2015 Honda Pilot wiper blades: common questions
What size wiper blades does a 2012–2015 Honda Pilot take?
- 22 inches on the driver's side and 21 inches on the passenger's side, plus a 14-inch rear blade.
Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2012–2015 Honda Pilot?
- 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.
What wiper connector does a 2012–2015 Honda Pilot use?
- U-hook/J-hook front connectors depending on blade brand. Some generic size guides list larger 26-in blades. Those apply to the 2016+ 3rd-gen Pilot, not this generation. Verify against the old blade before ordering.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
