Wiper blade sizes

Target has RainX Latitude wiper blades on sale this week and there is also a $10 mail-in rebate. My factory blades are still performing well but I'd like to pick up a set to have on hand for replacement. In any case, I can't find any documentation as to the appropriate sizes for the TLX. Neither the RainX booklet in store or their website have any 2015 models listed. I used a tape measure but my measurements don't exactly match up with what is actually being sold. For example, I measured 25" for the long blade but only 24" and 26" are sold. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it!

I'd go for the longer one. In my personal experience with odd-sized wipers, the smaller ones really wiped a much smaller area, which annoyed me.

With our cars you can buy the inserts off amazon and the dealer for around $10 for both. I paid $7 for my accord a the dealer a few days ago. All you do is slide the old insert and metal strip out and then slide in the new one!

When I had my 3G I tried all kinds of fancy wipers over the years, and I found that the OEMs worked best.

^agree, the OEM ones with the Honda accord insert holder are like cheaper versions of the Bosch Icon wipers! I had to pay $40 for both holders but refills are $7 instead of $35 for a completely new wiper assembly from Bosch.

I have a similar problem. I registered the car I just bought on the Acura website (had my old one on there already, just updated it), hoping to get wiper blade sizes, with no luck, since Google was telling me two different size sets. There wasn't any guidance in the manual, either. I registered my car in My Garage on Amazon after I thought I'd found the correct sizes (26 and 17), but when I tried to select them to add to my cart, Amazon said they didn't fit my car...even though when I selected "show me the ones that fit my car", it was showing me 26 and 17s! I wondered if it was because of the brand I picked - ever since the first time I tried PIAA wipers I've been hooked, so I would prefer to go with those. Has anyone else had trouble with PIAA wipers fitting? I've got a 2019 A-Spec.

24" and 26" are what the TLX takes. I just replaced mine last week.

If you look up the Acura parts you'll see the size in millimeters. The long one is 650mm and the short one is 425mm, or 25.6" and 16.7" respectively. So yeah, the 26" and 17" wiper blades should fit.
