What is the size of the Elantra wiper blades?
2 Answers
The size of the Elantra wiper blades is 26 inches and 14 inches, which converts to 65 cm and 35 cm. Here is some related information about wiper blades: 1. Function: Car wiper blades are used to clear raindrops from the glass surface during rainy weather, ensuring a clear and unobstructed view for the driver. Driving safety is of utmost importance, and wiper blades help reduce the risk of traffic accidents, ensuring safer travel. 2. Maintenance: (1) Regular inspection: Checking the wipers is simple. Spray some cleaning fluid, activate the wipers, and observe if they move smoothly. Listen for any loud "scraping" sounds. After one or two sweeps, check if any water remains on the windshield and look for any visible scratches. If there are obvious marks, it indicates that the rubber blade has aged and should be replaced. (2) Avoid prolonged sun exposure: Keeping the wipers out of direct sunlight for extended periods can extend their lifespan. (3) Avoid oil contamination: Oil on the glass can cause water to bead up and form stubborn droplets, leading to poor wiping performance. Similarly, if the windshield or wipers come into contact with oil, they may not clean rainwater effectively. Although wipers rest on the windshield, they are often overlooked during routine maintenance. If oil stains are found on the glass, it's best to clean the wiper blades and glass with a glass cleaner during car washing.
I've been driving a Hyundai Elantra for several years. From what I remember, the wiper sizes are mainly 26 inches for the driver side and 16 inches for the passenger side, but it depends on the year. For example, models after 2015 might have minor adjustments. Last time I replaced them myself, I got the wrong size - an 18-inch for the passenger side. After installation, it couldn't clean the edges properly, and I almost couldn't see the road clearly during rain! I learned my lesson: always measure the length of the old blades before replacing them, or check the car manual. Wiper rubber strips should be inspected every six months, and replaced if severely worn. They're inexpensive and save trouble. Proper sizing not only ensures safety but also extends the motor's lifespan. When washing the car, remember to clean the windshield to prevent rubber strip aging.
