ya could start with a tape measure and work it out for yourself, couln't you?? or are you too lazy to even do that...............

Does something as trivial as this need to be posted as a thread in a forum?

alright Damkia just because you seem to know every nut and bolt of the kia's and feel that a question about wiper blades is a small issue and dosent require a long explanation dosnt make it trivial

you seem to be a rude punk..are you one of these guys that talk grap on a computer..you anywhere around ponca city,oklahoma?

Any parts store would tell you at the counter what size, the larger stores have charts listing the sizes right on the shelves with the blades.

I've gone up a size on the drivers side as there is plenty of room when it sweeps.

Better things to do than worry about wiper blades........

Given theat you would have to go to an auto store anyway to buy them, it would be a reasonable assumption that they would have a chart for them (like they do for oil filters, air filters, batteries, spark plugs, etc).

As I said, 10 seconds each side with a tape measure would have given you the information you needed anyway. It would have taken longer for you to fire up your computer, log on to this site, and post the question, than it would have to actually borrow your Mommy's dressmaking tape measure and do the job yourself........

If you actually look elsewhere in this part of the forum you WILL find that I do try to help people that have REAL problems and REAL legitimate questions. I simply have NO TIME for lazy timewasters.

well if you have no time for lazy timewasters then dont leave a post just look and go

Hi hotrod 6

The wipers are 20 inch.

I use teflon wipers. In my experience they far outlast other types and don't deteriorate much from summer heat or heavy winter use. The teflons on my sportage are almost two years old and work like new.

Be careful about measuring and purchasing a size the same as what is already installed on your ride. There is always the possibility that the original wipers were replaced with the wrong size.

Here's some good websites to look up parts. The KIA site lets you look up parts for your specific KIA by year & model or VIN number. KIA also has exploded views of parts. All three are USA websites.
