It seems that the task is very simple, because what problems can arise when replacing the wiper blades? But this is only at first glance, problems may arise, but in this article we will tell you how to perform the procedure in garage conditions without involving car service specialists. I must say that any car driver should cope with this task in order to quickly change the brushes if necessary, because they are made of rubber, and this material does not differ in particular wear resistance.
Wiper blades mounts.
In stores, you will come across huge assortment windshield wipers and they all have a certain classification. And it is needed in order for the motorist to be able to choose the element that is exactly suitable for his car. The main parameter on which the type of wiper directly depends is the attachment of the wiper blades.
In the last century, all wipers were produced with standard mounts, which are popularly called hooks. This type is still common in many types of wipers today. In the 21st century, the Ford Taurus model appeared on the market, which was equipped with windshield wipers with new mounts.
From that moment on, many large car manufacturers split into two teams. Some companies remained adherents of the old but reliable technology, while others began to produce sets of brushes with compact mounts. The disadvantage of such brushes is the fact that there is too much range on the market. Therefore, it is so difficult to choose the right part, which, in addition, is not cheap. To make it easier for you to understand all sorts of ways of attaching windshield wipers, consider the main types and their names.
1. A hook is one of the most popular ways to attach brushes. U marking.
2. Side pin - used in cars Peugeot brands and Mercedes-Benz. Also, these elements are supplied with the Chevrolet Cruze and Aveo windshield wipers.
3. Button - reliable way wiper mounts, used in Renault, Citroen, Ford and Volvo cars.
4. Side mount - quite rare and used in some cars American production, and also in some Renault models.
5. Side clip - found in Audi, Fiat, Opel and Saab cars.
6. Bayonet lock - most often used in the manufacture of trucks.
Of course, the driver, forced to change the wipers on his own, is lost in all this diversity and cannot make a choice. It is because of this that experts recommend paying attention to universal parts and only then looking at the wipers for a specific car model.
When to change?
You will quickly realize that your wipers have exhausted their resource and it is time to change them. Inspect them for damage. The fact is that under the influence of all kinds of external factors and mechanical damage, the rubber of the wipers loses its integrity. If the wipers have ceased to cope with their function, then it's time to think about replacing.
When replacing the brush, only a certain small part of it needs to be removed, and the rest of the structure remains in its original place. Wipers consist of several elements, more specifically: a lower arm, a metal holder and a rubber brush. It’s just the last one that changes for normal work... If you want to pick up wipers for replacement, you should remove the brushes and go to the store with them, or measure the length of the old parts with a tape measure.
Replacement of brushes.
In order to dismantle the brushes, you need to slightly move the structure of the wiper. Move the lower arm of the element away from the windshield of the car and raise the mount towards the iron part of the wiper. Once the lever is in a stable position, it is time to remove the rubber brush.
You should also pay attention to the joint where the brush is fixed to the holder. There is a plastic plug that holds the brush blade in place. Click on the cork, push the joint apart and remove the worn out element.

To ensure stable visibility in any weather, it is necessary to use serviceable windshield wipers. Safety on the road depends on this seemingly insignificant element. Therefore, further we will consider how to choose and install Kia Rio wipers.
Selection of wipers by size, type and manufacturer
In order to choose the most suitable option, the following criteria must be taken into account:
- The size;
- Manufacturing material for the main elements;
- Mounting type;
- Cost;
- Manufacturer.
Rio wipers size varies for different generations cars, as well as the size and shape of the windshield. For cars of the first generation (model year 2000-2005), you need to use brushes 53 (on the driver's side) and 45 cm (on the passenger's side). On the second generation (2005-2011) - 55 and 40 cm.For Kia Rio 3 (2011-2015) - driver's - 65 cm, passenger - 40 cm.For Rio 4 and X-line series cars (2015, 2016, 2017) brushes are 60 and 40 cm.
Varieties of wipers
One of the most important criteria from which you need to build on when choosing is a variety. Different models wipers have their own design features - they need to be compared with the car brand and operating conditions. In total, there are 3 main varieties:
Wireframe. This is a classic of cleaner brushes as it was the first to appear. They consist of only 2 elements: a mount (in most models it is a simple hook) and a rubber seal. The advantages of this variety include the relatively low price and high strength of the frame (largely due to the simplicity of the design). The disadvantages include: too rapid contamination of elements, increased sensitivity to icing (due to the articulated type of connection), low aerodynamic performance and corrosion. Frame wipers are often found on the Kia Rio from the factory.
Frame wipers
Frameless. These wipers appeared in the late 80s and quickly gained popularity. Such models consist of a rigid base (in most cases it is made of light metal or plastic and covered with rubber to compensate for the frictional force), a rubber seal and a removable mount. The advantages of this type include: increased aerodynamic performance, resistance to icing (due to the absence of ball joints), smooth clamping, which grants uniform glass cleaning, regardless of its design features, and a reduced profile that does not obstruct the view. Among the disadvantages it is worth noting: the relatively high cost, the inability to replace the cleaning tape (therefore, if it is excessively worn, you have to completely change the design) and the need to select brushes for specific brand vehicle. Frameless wipers Kia is usually put on expensive Rio configurations.
Frameless brush design
Hybrid. As the name suggests, this is a combination of the above varieties. These wipers were invented in Japan and are by far the most practical option. The case of such structures is characterized by increased strength and, as a result, a long operating period. It is also worth noting the increased aerodynamic characteristics. Due to the heavy weight of the structure, such wipers cannot be installed on vehicles with windshield has a strong bend. Another disadvantage is the increased cost. However, at the price of to a greater extent influences the brand.
Hybrid brushes
There are also wiper models with a specific specification. One of these is winter, which are designed for regions with harsh climates. Their main feature is that they can remove a small crust of ice from the glass. However, they have a significant drawback - very low aerodynamic properties.
In a separate variety, it is worth including the rear wipers, which are intended exclusively for rear window TS. You can also find original windshield wipers for specific car models in stores. According to their design features they do not always differ significantly from the "usual" ones, therefore, most likely, this is a banal trick of automakers who want to increase their income by selling consumables.
Manufacturers overview
Another equally important factor in choosing Rio wiper blades is the manufacturer. Among all the variety, we note several of the most famous and popular:
Anco Contour. This is a Mexican manufacturer, which is quite exotic for this industry. In official testing, this kit received a rating of 3.8 (maximum score - 5). Among the shortcomings, one can note the lack of instructions in Russian, but if you have installed windshield wipers at least once, there will be no problems. The installation procedure is practically independent from the manufacturer. The advantages of this brand include the possibility of installation on a pin lever, which gives it variability.
Bosch Aerotwin. Buyers note the not quite standard packaging, from which it is rather difficult to deliver the wipers - there is a high probability of damaging your finger. This brand of wipers received 4.36 points. According to their operational characteristics it is comparable to the previous version, but the higher rating was obtained due to the fact that the price is almost 30% lower. There are also no instructions in Russian. Of the shortcomings, it is also worth noting that as a result of the work of the brushes, stripes remain on the glass in some places.
Heyner Hybrid. This is one of the most popular brands hybrid wipers... The main advantage is the low price. There are 2 adapters for different types levers. Installation is carried out without backlash, while the wipers are fixed tightly enough (the only caveat is that you will have to put in a lot of effort). Very few uncleaned stripes are left during operation. Another advantage is laconic appearance, thanks to which the wipers are not conspicuous. The disadvantages include instructions only for German, although hardly anyone will be interested in the details that are written on the package. In official trials, this brand was awarded 4.5 points, largely due to its low cost.
The question is how to change the wipers to Kia's car Rio rarely baffles drivers: the process is technically simple enough.
Sometimes choosing the right wiper blades is more of a problem.
The wipers are replaced as they wear out. It usually takes a year or a half and the wiper belt becomes clogged. On the glass, this is reflected in the form of clearly visible stripes. It is not possible to replace only the cleaning element, it is necessary to change the tape.
Buying windshield wipers always starts with looking at reviews of available models and reviews from other drivers. Any choice should be based primarily on the coincidence of metric dimensions.
The length of the element must be:
- from the driver's side - 26 inches;
- on the right side - 16 inches;
- the rear window is 11 inches.
It is better to purchase the parts recommended official dealers... In this case, you can always try inexpensive analogues. Many car enthusiasts advise to put not similar to relatives, but frameless, arguing this more long term service.
How to replace wiper blades on Kia Rio?
You can change the brushes in any situation - in the garage, in the parking lot, just on the side of the road. The required sequence of steps:
- move the wiper away from windscreen towards yourself, carefully, without breaking the clips. It should be brought to an angle of 90 degrees from the glass surface. To do this, you need to loosen the latches by pressing the button, and when fine-tuning, take the wiper slightly to the side;
- pull it out of the holders;
- the wiper blade is rotated to a position perpendicular to the mounting arm and removed from the holders;
- a new brush is put on the released lever, while it is advisable to lay a napkin on the windshield: if the spring works, the wiper can forcefully hit and damage the integrity of the glass;
- the brush is fixed in the hook of the holder and carefully brought into the working position, until it clicks.
A separate question that arises for many drivers is how to remove the rear wiper on the Kia Rio. The process will be similar to the operation with the windshield brushes.
Knowing how to change the wipers on the Kia Rio yourself, you can save on service... The need for replacement may arise at any time, therefore, timely purchase suitable replacement so that parts are always in stock.

Replacing the Rio wiper blades
To ensure measured visibility in any weather, you need to use serviceable windshield wipers. Safety on the road depends on this seemingly insignificant element. Therefore, we will further consider how to select and install the Kia Rio wipers.
Selection of wipers by size, type and manufacturer
In order to choose a more suitable option, you need to consider the following aspects:
- The size;
- Main parts production material;
- Mounting type;
- Price;
- Manufacturer.
The size of the Rio wipers differs for different generations of the car, as does the size and shape of the windshield. For cars of the first generation (model year 2000-2005) it is necessary to use brushes 53 (on the driver's side) and 45 cm (on the passenger's side). On the second generation (2005-2011) - 55 and 40 cm.For Kia Rio 3 (2011-2015) - driver's - 65 cm, passenger - 40 cm.For Rio 4 and X-line series cars (2015, 2016, 2017) brushes are 60 and 40 cm.
Varieties of wipers
One of the important criteria from which you need to build on when choosing is the variety. Various models wipers have their own design features - they must be compared with the car brand and operating criteria. In total, there are 3 main varieties:

Wireframe. This is a classic of its own kind of cleaner brushes, because this particular variety was the first to appear. They consist of only 2 parts: a mount (in most models it is a regular hook) and a rubber seal. The advantages of this variety include the relatively low cost and higher strength of the frame (in almost everything due to the simplicity of the design). The disadvantages include: very quick contamination of parts, increased sensitivity to icing (due to the articulated type of connection), low aerodynamic characteristics and corrosion. Frame wipers are often found on the Kia Rio from the factory.
Frameless. These wipers appeared in the late 80s and quickly gained popularity. Such models consist of a rigid base (in most cases it is made of light metal or plastic and covered with rubber to compensate for the frictional force), a rubber seal and a removable mount. The advantages of this type include: overestimated aerodynamic characteristics, resistance to icing (due to the absence of ball joints), smooth pressure, which gives uniform cleaning of the glass, regardless of its design features, and a reduced profile that does not obstruct the view. Among the minuses, it should be noted: the relatively high price, the impossibility of replacing the cleaning tape (therefore, if it is excessively worn, you have to change the design one hundred percent) and the need to select brushes for a certain brand of vehicle. Frameless Kia wipers are usually installed on expensive Rio configurations.

Hybrid. As the name implies, this is a combination of the above varieties. Such windshield wipers were invented in the Land of the Rising Sun, and today they are a more convenient option. The case of such structures is characterized by overestimated strength and, as a consequence, a long operating period. It is also necessary to note the inflated aerodynamic properties. Due to the huge weight of the structure, such windshield wipers cannot be installed on cars, which windshield has a strong twist. Another drawback is the overpriced price. In general, the value is mainly influenced by the brand.

Manufacturers overview
Another more fundamental factor in choosing Rio wiper blades is the manufacturer. In the midst of all the abundance, we note a few more recognizable and popular ones:
Anco Contour. This is a Mexican manufacturer, which is quite exotic for this industry. In official trials, this kit received a score of 3.8 (the highest score is 5).

Another virtue is laconic appearance, with the help of which the wipers are not in plain sight. The disadvantages include the annotation only in German, although hardly anyone will be interested in the details that are written on the package. In official tests, this brand was awarded 4.5 points, almost in all thanks to the low price.
Replacement guide
Replacing the wipers Kia Rio is not difficult, and any car enthusiast can cope with it. It is done in the following sequence:
- The holder rises from the windshield. To avoid deformation, it must be held perpendicular and raised very evenly. It rests on a spring, because if you make an imprudent movement, the element can break off and destroy windshield.
- Then the old wiper blade is removed. It is held on a special plastic clip, you need to press it slightly and carefully unhook it janitor... In some models, the wipers are latched, but the removal procedure is the same. Tip: for safety windshield can be covered with a thick cloth (for example, an old towel) so that if the lever falls, it will not be damaged.
- Then a new janitor inserted in place of the old one at the end of the lever. A subtle click will indicate that the item has been inserted correctly. After that, you can return the structure back to windshield Replacing all door locks, rods and larvae on VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115 The door consists of a larva, from a rod, from an external lock, an internal lock, etc., thanks to which the door is at the car and is kept on the move preventing it from opening, over time, the locks or the larva itself becomes unusable and when the key is inserted into the lich ...
