The standard wiper configuration for most Hyundai Palisade models is front blades of 24 inches on the driver’s side and 18 inches on the passenger side, plus a 12-inch rear blade. Exact sizes can vary by model year and market, so verify with your owner’s manual or parts guide.
This article outlines the typical sizes you’ll encounter, notes potential regional differences, and explains how to confirm the correct blade lengths for your specific Palisade before buying replacements or installing new blades.
Front Wiper Sizes
Common front blade lengths for the Palisade across recent years are designed to provide full windshield coverage while accommodating the vehicle's curved glass. Check the driver's side blade length on the original equipment or in the user manual if you want to be precise.
- Driver-side front blade: 24 inches
- Passenger-side front blade: 18 inches
The front blades are typically replaced most often; using the recommended 24" and 18" ensures proper contact with the windshield and compatibility with any rain-sensing features. If you own a Palisade with an earlier version or regional variant, double-check before purchasing.
Rear Wiper Size
For the Palisade, the rear blade is typically a 12-inch unit, though this can vary slightly by market or year. Always confirm against your vehicle’s documentation because some regional models may use a slightly different rear length.
- Rear wiper blade: 12 inches
Rear wiper replacements are less frequent but still important for maintaining visibility through the rear window, especially in wet or snowy conditions. Verify the size before ordering, and consider the blade type (beam vs. conventional) based on climate and performance preferences.
How to Confirm Your Exact Size
To avoid ordering errors, check your Palisade’s exact blade lengths using a few reliable methods described below. Different model years and markets can lead to minor size variations.
Practical verification methods
Use a combination of official documentation and in-store guidance to confirm the precise fit for your vehicle.
- Consult the owner’s manual or the Hyundai Parts catalog for your year and market.
- Inspect the existing blades for length markings or measure the blades with a tape measure.
- Ask an authorized Hyundai dealer or a reputable parts retailer to verify the fit using your VIN.
- When in doubt, bring the old blade to compare or order a 24"/18" front set plus a 12" rear set and adjust as needed.
With these steps, you’ll ensure you purchase blades that match your Palisade’s specifications and climate needs.
Summary
The Hyundai Palisade generally uses 24-inch driver-side front blades, 18-inch passenger-side front blades, and a 12-inch rear blade. Always verify for your exact model year and market, as sizes can vary. Check the owner’s manual, consult the dealer, or reference the parts catalog to confirm before purchasing.
