does anyone have problems with the 07 accord wipers missing spots when you changed the wiper blades? I have gone through 3 diffferent brands and types of aftermarket wipers, and they all miss spots. Even the 0 PT wipers that have even pressure all across. I didn't know if this was a honda thing where their wipers are designed differently or not.

I don't have a Honda missing spots, but it happened with my Ford. I took it to the dealership to replace them and fix it. It was $12 to fix it. Now they work perfectly. Maybe you could find a used part somewhere. People who sell the used parts might have it.

I had this problem once with a car and was told that it was because of the shape of the actual windshield. Can I ask what part you needed to get to fix yours, Grace. Thanks. My Mom is having this problem on here car but it isn't a Honda.

Yes I have that problem with my 04 Honda Accord. It's sort of a bug that honda is stuck with. Thankfully its just a plain annoyance for me since its the passenger side. But at least its not a big problem like engine problems like ford! Lol.

Make sure the metal tips that hold the blade in place are not too close to the ends. This will cause the blade to bow instead of follow the contour of the glass. Also, pull the arms away from the glass, and bend the wiper end of the arm closer to the windshield. This will increase the pressure of the blade. Do both these things, and your wipers will not miss a single spot. Hope this helped you and good luck!
