Hyundai wiper blades vs Kia

1816kg · Feb 5, 2022

I called my local Genesis dealer to get some wiper blades for my 2019 G70. I was told it is 50$ Cdn for driver’s side! Are our wiper blades compatible with Kia Stinger blades? When I called Kia I was quoted 25$. I want to get these. This is even cheaper than at Canadian Tire where Bosch Icons are 30$.
Anyone is familiar with both of these wiper blades? Is there much quality difference for such a price gap?

I just replaced mine and was tired of expensive non-original blades that were too bulky or sat higher than the originals. It took some effort, but I found replacement rubbers for the existing OEM frames. Once the right size was found, both were replaced in the driveway within 5 minutes. The best thing is that the packages included two (different lengths and widths for each blade) rubber refills for each blade. Total costs for two sets... $18.00

This is one of the refills. My driver's side blade is quite a bit longer (26") than the passenger side (16"). Being longer the rubber base that slides into the frame is also thicker (8mm) than the passenger side (6mm).

Not sure what your car's specs are but I measured length only and assumed the thickness would be the same - nope. Good thing Amazon returns are super easy. Good luck!

Thank you for great idea with refills.
That link makes me pay crazy shipping to Canada though. I’ll search on a Canadian server.
I’ve found these for 7$. I want to know if that’s the same thing. However, it is for Kia Stinger. Should fit? Wondering if I can grab these from either dealer as well.
