Okay, there are basically two ways to replace the wipers.
1) Rubber Refill inserts
2) replace the whole thing (looks like a bow)...basically a refill insert with a metal arm (looks like a "D" where the straight edge on the "D" is where the rubber is).
I'm talking about option #2. How to do you take the stock ones out to replace it?

Turn your wipers on and shut the car off so that they are at teh top stroke on the windshield. Lift them up off the window and look at teh bottom of the wiper. You will see a little tab that needs to be pushed. Push it in and pull the whole wiper blade down out of the arm (you will see that its C shaped and which way it needs to go)

@ slide or die @
driver's side is 24". 24a bosh icon. forgot what the passenger's side is.
i'm an ast mng at Advance Auto Parts in Boca and the Icon's although expensive are by FAR the best wipers in the market...the 5cars in my house have them. bosch microedge are just as good as the teflon wipers and those only wipe nicely for a month or two. rubber wipers (7/9=$16/pair) not even worth putting those on your civic
