Replacement steps

Connector compatibility
Rear wiper connector types can vary by year and market. If the new blade doesn’t seem to fit, consult the retailer for the exact connector style required for your Elantra GT variant.
- With the engine off, gently lift the rear wiper arm away from the glass until it stays in an accessible position.
- Locate the blade’s release mechanism at the end of the wiper arm (usually a small tab or button) and press or lift it to disengage the blade.
- Slide the old blade down or off the hook/connector until it is free from the arm.
- Prepare the new blade by ensuring it is the correct 12-inch length and has the proper connector type for your vehicle.
- Attach the new blade by aligning it with the wiper arm and securing it until you hear or feel a click indicating it is locked in place.
- Lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield and test the rear wipe to confirm smooth operation and full contact with the glass.
Always refer to the owner’s manual for model-specific directions and safety notes. If the connector type doesn’t match, use the correct part designed for your Elantra GT’s year and market.
