Steps
Park on level ground and switch the ignition off. Lift the rear wiper arm away from the glass until it stands up on its hinge and stays there.
Look closely at how the old blade sits in the arm. Take a photo with your phone so you can match the fitting when you put the new one on.
Compare the new blade with the old one. It should be the same length and have the same connector type. The owner's manual lists the rear blade size.
Press the release tab on the blade connector and slide the blade off the arm. If the clip is stiff, lift it gently with a flat screwdriver.
Push the new blade onto the arm until the connector clicks into place. Give it a light tug to confirm it is locked on.
Lower the arm slowly until the blade rests flat on the rear glass. Never let the bare arm snap down.
Run the rear wiper through one cycle using the stalk or dial. Check that it clears the glass without streaks, chatter or missed patches.
Tips and common mistakes
Never let the bare wiper arm drop onto the glass, because the spring can crack the rear window.
Wipe the glass with cleaner before fitting the new blade so trapped grit does not chew the rubber.
Change the rear blade at the same time as the front pair, roughly every 6 to 12 months.
Questions
What size rear wiper blade does a 2023 Honda Passport use?
Check the owner's manual or measure the old blade tip to tip. Buy a blade listed for the rear of your model year rather than guessing.
Do I need any tools for this job?
Most rear blades come off by hand once you press the release tab. A flat screwdriver helps if the locking clip is stiff.
How do I know the new blade is fitted correctly?
It should click into the arm, sit flat against the glass, and clear water in one smooth pass.
