£20 from your Honda Dealer.
A bargain, considering they have more to them than other cars and are Honda parts.

The cost is actually to have the rubber part of the wipers replaced and not the holder.

When I had mine done it took the dealer about ten minutes with most of the time taken by them trying to work out how to take the blade holder apart.

would appear to be good value as I now have 17K+, and very nearly 12 months, on the car and haven't yet had to replace the wipers and last year they got used a lot. I've never got more than about 6 months out of a set of wipers on any other car, not even the last one (Passat) that used the same type of wiper blade.

Seems becasue the Civic windscreen is quite flat the wipers arms don't need to press the blades onto the widscreen as hard.

Unless you have split them when they were frozen to the screen, I would try cleaning them with vinegar as they should last longer than that.

My last ones were 5€ a pair - rubbers only, lasted 2 years on my previous car, you just cut them to desired length and insert them- as described in the manual, it sometimes pays off to look at it from the inside

:edit) Be careful with the cutting, the left wiper is wider than the right one

That may only be on cars with light / rain sensor so the wiper clears the sensor too!!

£18.80 for a pair fitted today at the dealer. The guy on the counter told me it costs more to just buy the rubber inserts than the entire arm - typical Honda pricing!
