Replacing wiper blades on our Hyundai Ioniq Electric (throwing away new Bosch Aerotwin)

In this video, I'm replacing the wiper blades on our 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electric. This had Bosch AeroTwin wipers which were fitted by the original owner only a matter of weeks ago. These juddered, particularly on the longer driver's side wiper and the mountings also had too much play in them.
I much prefer a hybrid wiper blade to the Bosch flat blade design. So in this video I fit some new Heyner hybrid wiper blades which are almost identical to the original OEM wipers, but about half the cost.
The Ioniq has a 26" (650mm) blade on the driver's side and a 18" (450mm) on the passenger side and uses the standard hook type mounting.
Heyner Hybrid 26/18" only £20.72 on Amazon amzn.to/3O80V0z
(even though these are for a Jeep, they are the correct set for the Hyundai Ioniq)
or direct from Heyner heynershop.co.uk/

One-handed wiper replacement RESPECT

Bosch seems to be decent because of the nano layer that guarantees smooth wiping. Many wipers do indeed loose that layer a lot faster than the Bosch. Especially when there is a lot of dirt on the windshield, or when often visiting the carwash.

@thathairyguy 5 месяцев назад

Huge thanks for this video Matt. As someone not very handy with cars I managed to change these myself today - just following along with your instructions. I bought the same blades too. Although mine didn't come with the protective red plastic on them. They look and behave just like new though. Many thanks again mate.

@matthewwakeham2206 Год назад

Part of the issue seems to be that the wiper arms are designed for the old style wipers. So it's a retrofit adaptor to fit the flat blade bosch. With arms designed for the flat blades they have a sturdy pin that the wiper slides onto and pivots on. You literally lift the arm and pivot the wiper to change it in seconds and it gives a really sturdy fixing helping to elimintate the flop that allows the judder. I find the bosch flat wipers work better and last twice as long (at least) as the old style blades. Admittedly the longer ones may be more prone to judder but if there is play where they attach then any blade will perform badly. If the screen has any contamination on it that will also make things worse (wash and wax for example). There really is nothing wrong with the bosch wipers in most applications but in this specific application with a long blade on a retrofit adaptor, they perform poorly.

@GoGreenAutos Год назад

Yes, you're spot on. But I do find that flat wipers when longer (say 20+ inches) do have a tendency to judder easier than a hybrid wiper. But you're right, the mounting type is key. With the hook type arms being the most common, the Bosch Aerotwins are not the best.

@Adam-ni5lt Год назад

Thanks for the info. I've always purchased the Bosch Aerotwin blades in the past, but I'll go for your recommendation next time I get some blades for our Ioniq.

@GoGreenAutos Год назад

Aerotwin's or any flat blade style wipers aren't ideal when over about 20". Hybrid wipers are far superior on modern cars with long wiper blades.

@wpm720 9 месяцев назад

I used to find the mechanism too bulky on the Bosch which defeated the purpose of it somewhat. I've followed your suggestion and went for the Heyner wipers for my Toyota Auris (now the wipers are hybrid as well as the traction). Much lower profile install and the juddering hasn't reappeared after 3 months of use. Thanks for the recommendation.

@GoGreenAutos 9 месяцев назад

@Ambienfinity 6 месяцев назад

Brilliant advice, and recommendation. I've just acquired an Ioniq HEV and am delighted with everything about it, except the crummy wipers.

@Ambienfinity 6 месяцев назад

@Ambienfinity 6 месяцев назад

@@GoGreenAutos Someone must have changed the factory fitted ones, definitely Bosch, and you're definitely right!

@Ambienfinity 6 месяцев назад

@@GoGreenAutos You were quite right. I think they were factory fitted Valeos. As soon as I got the Heyners, I could tell they would be better. I had to use a bit of WD40 on the wiper blade arm hook to help ease it into the fitting, but they immediately wiped the windscreen cleaner and quieter. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll use these from now on.

@alanbrad3727 Год назад

Had this car for about 2 years now. Never been quite happy with the blades I've had! For the price I'll give them a try. Cheers

It's time to replace the blades on my 2013 Nissan Leaf. It also has a 26" drivers side blade that judders badly so I'll order some hybrid blades and see how they go.

@GoGreenAutos 8 месяцев назад

The genuine Nissan wipers for the Leaf are hybrids. But these Hayner ones are almost identical and much cheaper.

@FFVoyager Год назад

Just in time - needed some new blades. Ordered the set you linked from Amazon - drivers side fine but the passenger (short) one has to be fitted with the 'aero' the other way round. The cover has cut-outs for the ridge and to latch would be arse-about-face if it's fitted that way. Looks a bit odd but probably will work fine!

@GoGreenAutos Год назад

No, you can mount the wipers either way around, then snap in the adaptor and cover facing the appropriate way. As I did in the video.

@FFVoyager Год назад

@@GoGreenAutos I don't think I can! (I've sent you an email with pictures - hope it makes sense!)

Hi Matt, i just fitted Bosch to my eNiro & because we’ve had no rain I didn’t realise i had the same problem until it rained. The Bosch are absolutely rubbish and distracting. The supplier then sent me Michelin & there was no hood to keep the blades on, so now they’re going back too & I’ve bought the Vipa brand which look similar to yours. I’ll be fitting them tomorrow but if they’re no good I’ll go with your recommendation. £20 vs £33.50 lets see whats best!

@GoGreenAutos Год назад

I've just looked at the Vipa website and if they're the hybrid ones, they'll be good. Hybrid always - wipers not powertrain!

@kyfisher3662 3 месяца назад

i find it strange that they claim its combining the blade style with the conventional when all its doing is putting an aero cover on the conventional and taking nothing from the blade style

@stephenwakeman3074 Месяц назад

The only benefits to the flat blade style is that it's more aerodynamic than an open frame design and not vulnerable to being clogged by ice during winter. By having an aero cover over a conventional design, it makes it look better (subjective), more aerodynamic and protected from ice and debris (objective).

@patrickh7368 Год назад

The reason it was taking force to clip in the blade needs rotating to allow the clips to flex out rather than the blade sides stopping the flex action…🤔

@GoGreenAutos Год назад

The clips are pretty stiff regardless, but not a bad thing.

@patrickh7368 Год назад

@@GoGreenAutos yes but in that zero degrees position the sides are acting as a lock to these clips, pivoting the blade to 90 degrees would allow the clips to move unrestricted, is what I mean but hey hoe…. I removed the original wipers off my Ioniq at 1200 miles as they just smeared… I have aeroblade style but will look those up next time I swap.

@davidadams5116 Год назад

having new ones fitted on the service in a couple of weeks. if they judder i will try your make of blades. just done a June 23 update of almost 26gb. Dont suppose you know what the 2 updates actually did or if any new features. Thanks

@GoGreenAutos Год назад

I think it just updates the onboard sat nav with better EV charging routing and current charger data. Plus I think I read on the comments on this channel that also it added thumbnails on the radio.

@Adam-ni5lt Год назад

On the Hyundai update page, it also spoke of a new sat nav feature: if the route is beyond the range of the battery capacity then it flags it up and lets you pick a charging station en route. 👍

@kingofmonsters7452 6 месяцев назад

Can you ship the old Bosch wiper blades to me ? BTW the vibrations on bottom end is due to uneven glass surface or some sort of residue. Try clay barring on windshield, you will be amazed how dirty your windshield was 😅

@GoGreenAutos 6 месяцев назад

This video was filmed 7 months ago, so the Bosch blades went in the bin a long time ago. If the juddering was caused by residue on the glass, why didn't the new wiper blades judder or start juddering over the last 7 months?

@dot7107 Год назад

I use Turtle Wax Clearvue Rain Clear, no need to use wipers allmost at all

@GoGreenAutos Год назад

I've tried various products like that over the years and initially I like it, but then I often found that wipers soon ended up juddering worse than having nothing on the glass. Maybe its as the product wears off and I just needed to reapply more.
