Help with wiper blade

[jaynyc]

Hi. At the first service the dealer replaced wiper blades on my 2020 SXP. All was fine until recently they stopped wiping a small portion of windshield. I can’t understand why this happened or what the fix is. The rubber edges seems fine, ie: consistent across both blades.




Any suggestions?
Thx

If they are new OEM blades, they should conform to the windshield as your original blades did. If they are non-OEM or you have a defective blade, maybe the dealer can try giving you another one.

Worst case scenario would be if the KIA tech did not know how to set the wipers into service mode and tried pulling the wiper arms outward. Now the metal arms are warped and need to be bent back in to allow the blades to make full contact. If this was the case, you can check under the hood if there are any indents where they wiper arms were forced outward.
