Rep Power: 314 08 Honda wiper blade mod
well after a little research, ive found out that you CAN put the newer honda blades on the 7thgen... WOOOOO
they snap right in and they look awesome, and work great.. and for those of us who live where theres snow.. its like a winter blade and wont get snow and ice jammed in and inhibit the wiper performance.. the great thing is that once you get the blades replaced, you can just put in new inserts, which are cheaper, and literally takes 1 minute to put them on
now no one car has the right blades that fit exactly, so you cant say that you want blades for a civic, cause they will give you what you already have..
you need both short sides from an 08-09 odyssey and accord.. the odyssey blade is 25mm longer, which is about an inch, so its the longer one and sticks out about half an inch on both sides.. but still clears the windshield
Accord Blade part number 76630-TA0-A01
Odyssey Blade part number 76630-SHJ-A11
ill try to find the part number for the inserts next week.. cheers.. happy modding

good to know, it looks the same as a bosch icon. i wasnt impressed with that style at all and went back to bosch micro edge regular metal wiper.

the icon doesnt have the sectioned parts, and this is mainly for the fact taht the snow season is coming up, and i dislike the snow caking up in the blade support

well, that may be.. but this one has a replacable rubber blade which cuts the cost down when it comes time to replace
