HYUNDAI ix20 wiper blades rear and front

When should the wiper blades on the Hyundai ix20 be replaced?

• Streaks, squeaking or juddering indicate a loss of rubber elasticity or uneven pressure on the glass.
• Mechanical damage (loose clips or a shifted metal backing strip) can scratch the windscreen.
• Severe cold: if they freeze to the glass, wiping will be incomplete and the wiping lip may tear.

Service life and replacement intervals for the Hyundai ix20

• Estimated lifespan (front): around 12 months, depending on climate, exposure to sunlight and mileage.
• Severe use (urban traffic, frequent rain): shorten the interval to 6–8 months to maintain optimal wiping.
• Rear: typically lasts 12–18 months, since it operates for less time and under lower aerodynamic load.

Wiper blade sizes for the Hyundai ix20 — all generations

Attachment mechanism on the ix20

• Front windscreen: The ix20 uses a 19 mm Push-Button
• Rear screen: The rear blade is a specific-fit moulded clip

Additional technical parameters

• Arm angle ≈ 15°: factory-set to ensure the correct attack angle of the wiping lip.
• Spring force 8–10 N: sized to offset the mass of winter blades with spoiler and the dynamic pressure at high speed.

Effects of choosing incorrect sizes

• Excessive length: blades may rub the A-pillar or the bonnet edge, even overlap, causing vibration and noise and increasing load on the wiper motor.
• Insufficient length: reduces the effective swept area and leaves blind spots, compromising visibility in rain, fog or road spray.

Compatibility with alternative models

• There is a range of suitable models such as Bosch Twin Rear 3 397 004 629, Valeo Everguard 566025, and ranges like CarPoint NXT Premium.
• Some products offer unique advantages; for example, Bosch with Power Protection Plus and Evodium rails: consistent, even wiping, less noise, greater durability.
• Most come with adaptors included, low-profile design, broad compatibility and quick, quiet, stable installation.

Savings and sustainability

• Choose rubber refills where the blade carrier allows; this extends the life of the holder and lowers maintenance costs.
• Recycle the metal frame and dispose of the rubber separately in accordance with local regulations.
• Consider twin packs or saver kits: they reduce the unit price and minimise packaging.

OE or replacement brand — which blades suit the ix20?

• Hyundai OE: precise fit, guaranteed tolerances and controlled NVH.
• Quality Replacement brand (e.g., aerodynamic ranges from Bosch Aerotwin, Valeo, CarPoint): more uniform contact pressure and low-friction coatings.
