The rear wiper blade on a 2020 Kia Soul is 11 inches long (about 280 mm).
Overview of the size and its implications
In practice, that 11-inch blade is designed to clear the rear window on the Soul's hatchback body. The size is consistent across most 2020 Soul trims, aligning with common aftermarket replacements. If you are replacing the blade, verify the connector type and packaging to ensure a proper fit for your particular wiper arm.
How to confirm the size and replace it
To confirm the exact blade size and fit, you can check the owner's manual, the Kia parts catalog, or the label on your current blade. If you opt for an aftermarket blade, look for an 11-inch rear blade compatible with a hook- or pin-type connector as used by the 2020 Soul's rear wiper arm.
Replacement steps
Below is a straightforward guide to replacing an 11-inch rear wiper blade on a 2020 Kia Soul:
- Park on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Gently lift the rear wiper arm away from the glass until it holds its position.
- Depress the release tab or slide the old blade out of the wiper arm, depending on the connector design.
- Align the new 11-inch blade with the connector and snap or slide it into place until it clicks securely.
- Lower the wiper arm back to the glass and run a quick test to ensure proper contact and clearance.
Following these steps will help ensure a secure fit and clear rear visibility during operation. If your Soul has a different rear-wiper interface (rare, but possible by market or trim), consult the blade packaging or dealer guidance for the exact replacement method.
Notes on compatibility and care
Even with the standard 11-inch size, ensure you purchase a blade designed for rear-window use and that the curvature matches your Soul's rear glass. Regularly inspect the blade for nicks or cracks, especially after snow, ice, or heavy rain exposure.
Summary
The rear wiper blade for the 2020 Kia Soul is 11 inches long, with replacement steps that are straightforward using standard 11-inch blades. Always verify the connector type and consult official sources for the exact part number if you need to replace it.
