Blade Replacement

When the wipers no longer clean properly, the blades may be worn or cracked and require replacement.

To avoid damaging the wiper arms or other components, do not attempt to move the wipers manually.

Aftermarket wiper blades may cause malfunction and/or failure of the wipers. It is recommended that genuine Kia parts be used.
