Step-by-step instructions for replacing windshield wipers on a Kia
- Lift the Wiper Arm: turn off your vehicle and hold the windshield wiper knob in the mist position for two seconds. The wiper blade should rise and remain in a raised position. This will give you better access to the wiper blade.
- Remove the Old Wiper Blade: Carefully remove the pin or locking clip that secures the blade to the arm. Gently pull the blade away from the arm.
- Install the New Wiper Blade: Align the new wiper blade with the wiper arm according to your blade type. Insert the pin or attach the locking clip to secure the new blade in place.
- Lower the Wiper Arm: Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Make sure the blade is correctly positioned and doesn’t touch the windshield trim or frame.
- Test the New Wiper Blades: Turn on your wipers and check their performance. They should move smoothly and effectively clean the windshield.
- Repeat for the Other Side: If necessary, repeat these steps for the other wiper blade on your vehicle.
