How to choose the right wiper blades for your Kia
Getting the right fit on your Kia comes down to three details: blade length, the type of connector on the wiper arm, and whether there is a rear wiper to replace as well. Follow these steps to choose with confidence.
- Choose your Kia model from the list above, then find your build year in its size table.
- Take note of your body style and series, since different versions of one model can need different blade lengths.
- Check the connector type shown for your vehicle so the new blades attach securely to the existing arms.
- Where a rear wiper is fitted, it pays to change the rear blade along with the front pair.
Kia Wiper Blade FAQs
How often should Kia wiper blades be replaced?
Most Kia owners should fit new wiper blades every 12 months, or earlier if the blades start to streak, smear or chatter. Heat and UV are the main causes of wear in Australia, so cars parked outside may need new blades sooner.
Can I fit Kia wiper blades myself?
Yes, swapping the wiper blades on a Kia is a simple home job that needs no tools. Lift the arm, unclip the old blade and click the new one into place, which takes about 60 seconds with the easy-to-follow instructions included.
Should I replace both front wiper blades on my Kia at the same time?
Yes, fitting a matching pair is the best approach. A new blade next to a worn one gives a patchy result, while two fresh blades clear the full width of the windscreen evenly. Where your Kia has a rear wiper, it is worth changing that blade at the same time too.
Why are my Kia wiper blades streaking or chattering?
Streaks are a sign that the rubber edge is worn, cracked or coated in grime, and chattering usually happens when the blade skips across dirty glass or has lost its flexibility. A good clean of the windscreen and blades may help, but if the problem returns, the blades should be replaced.
Can I use a longer wiper blade than the listed size on my Kia?
It is best to use the sizes listed for your Kia. A blade that is too long can hit the windscreen frame or clash with the other blade, while a blade that is too short leaves an unwiped strip in your line of sight.
How can I make my Kia wiper blades last longer?
Keep the windscreen clean, use washer fluid rather than running the wipers on dry glass, and wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth every few weeks. Parking in the shade or under cover also slows the damage caused by heat and UV.
Why do Kia models need specific wiper blades?
Kia is the South Korean carmaker and sister brand to Hyundai, with a popular range that includes the Picanto, Cerato, Sportage and Carnival. Windscreen shapes change from one Kia model to the next, which means blade lengths and connectors change too. Matching your blades to the size guide for your model and year gives a secure fit and a clear, even wipe.
