How To Replace Hyundai Windshield Wipers

You may have heard or been constantly reminded by others to always ensure your windshield wipers are in top-notch condition. That includes having them cleaned and maintained consistently, as well as having your windshield wipers replaced when it’s due.

In this article, we explore why you should replace your wipers and how you can do so.

Why is it Important to Replace Your Hyundai Windshield Wipers?

Although your Hyundai windshield wipers are a minor component of your Hyundai car, they have a significant influence on your driving and general safety. They rapidly and easily eliminate snow, rain, dirt, pollen, frost, and other debris at the touch of a button.

The windshield wiper mechanism sweeps the windshield with the windscreen wiper arms in motion. The thin latex (or silicone) blade is dragged over the windshield by the steel or solid plastic arms to clean away water, improving your vision of the road.

Windshield wiper blades eventually fracture, rip, and lose their elasticity. The malfunction of wipers is caused by a variety of factors, including as road grit, bird droppings, severe temperatures, and UV radiation.

When is it Time to Replace your Hyundai Windshield Wipers?

You should replace your Hyundai windshield wipers at regular intervals. You might now be wondering how you can identify it’s time for a replacement. We recommend intervals of six months to a year. Here are some signs to look out for on your own:

• Your windshield is making squeaking or chattering noises
• The wipers move in an erratic manner
• Moisture streaking, smearing, or cracks on your windshield
• Significantly reduced vision when driving, even when the wipers are in motion
• Broken, torn, or missing blade components

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Replace your Hyundai Windshield Wipers

You must be aware of the dimensions for your particular model in order to replace the windshield on your Hyundai. Finding this information is simple. You may find this information online.

The blades can also be measured by you. Since wiper blades are measured in inches, you must purchase a blade marked with the number 20 here on the box if the passenger-side blade is 20 inches in length.

The first step you have to take is to open the door on the driver's side, get inside, and start the Hyundai. For two seconds, turn on the wipers, then switch them off. This will position the wipers in the center of the windscreen and make it simpler to reach them.

When that is completed, you are safe to exit your Hyundai vehicle. Lock the driver's side windshield arm in position after raising it off the glass.

Now, look out for the middle of the wiper, and release the safety tab. By doing this, you may free the wiper and take it off the arm. Next, remove the wiper blade from the arm by sliding it off.

You are almost done! Pull the replacement wiper blade onto the wiper arm after lining up the connection with the base of the wiper arm. When the safety system has secured the blades to the arm and engaged, you will notice a click.

We are down to the final step of replacing your Hyundai windshield wipers. To the windscreen, lower the wiper arm on the driver's side. Follow the same steps to replace the passenger-side wiper blade.
