Wiper Blade Size

My wiper blades seem to be streaking even after cleaning so I want to replace them. I have searched and cannot seem to find the proper size. When I measured them I came up with 25.5 and 15.5 but they dont make half sizes. Does anyone know there actual size. Thanks in advance. Also cant seem to get the hole blades off. Read the owners manual and its kind of short about it.

I checked the service manual and they don't list the size of the blades in there either. I guess that's Acura's feeble attempt to have you bring it in to the dealer to replace the wipers.

Best thing to do is to remove the balde assembly and take it in the store with you to match up the blade size.

To release the assembly from the car, there is a release tab on the side of the arm closest to the vehicle when the wipers are lifted up. Squeeze that tab and slide the assembly towards the vehicle. Then the rubber blades slide out of the assembly.

Before you go out and buy new ones, PIAA Super Silicon and Super Sporzas are supposed to be excellent.

Dealer won't replace it for free? I would check w/ them first. Free is always better!

Thanks for checking for me. I need to order a service manual. I will take them off and to the store. I wanted to check out the new michelin wiper blades and will look into the piaas and let everyone know the size and result for those interested.
