Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Kia Optima take?
The Kia Optima takes a 26" (650mm) blade on the driver side and an 18" (450mm) blade on the passenger side for the 2015 to 2018 range. Owners should check the table above to confirm the exact size for their specific year and body type.
Does the Kia Optima have a rear wiper?
Yes, the Kia Optima is fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard. The rear blade is 12" (300mm) and is sold separately from the front pair. Owners should replace all three blades at the same time for consistent visibility.
What wiper connector does the Kia Optima use?
The Kia Optima uses a hook-style front wiper connector across the model range covered on this page. This connector type is common across most Kia passenger vehicles sold in Australia. Owners can confirm their connector type by checking the specifications on the relevant product page.
Why does only one Kia Optima generation have a rear wiper?
Only the JF generation Optima, sold from 2015 to 2018, was fitted with a rear wiper from the factory. The earlier TF and GD generations rely on the rear windscreen demister and do not have a rear wiper blade. Owners should check their generation before ordering a rear blade for an Optima sedan.
How often should I replace Kia Optima wiper blades?
Wiper blades on a Kia Optima should generally be replaced every twelve months, or sooner if streaking or noise appears. Australian conditions, including strong UV exposure, can shorten the working life of the rubber. Replacing blades on a regular schedule keeps visibility consistent in wet weather.
