DIY Kia Wiper and Filter Replacement

[Andre Laurence]

You shouldn’t pay a garage to replace the cabin filter and wiper blades of your car because it literally takes 10 minutes to do both yourself, and you can save a lot of money. How do you make the wiper arms clear the hood of the EV6, or any other modern Kia and Hyundai where to wiper arms are under the hood/bonnet? Where is the cabin filter hidden? What filter and blades do you buy? What does a cabin filter look like after 3.5 years and 113,000km of driving? This video shows it all. Sorry, but we didn’t make any mistakes making this short video, so no bloopers.

Good note on the parking the wiper blades procedure, I always forget how to do it and have to resort to the manual. My Kona EV uses the same method.
Additionally, I throw a folded blanket I carry in the car on the windshield...just in case exposed the bare metal from the wiper arm mistakenly gets pushed once the actual wiper is removed, the spring tension is enough to crack the windshield.
