Review on Complete Set Rear Windshield Wiper Arm with Blade for Kia Sorento (2010-2015) and Kia Soul (2006-2016) by Adam Nikolz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stay away from Kia Niro owners!

I have a 2018 Kia Niro. The first search result I got was this product and based on a review that said it was the right thing for the Niro I didn't think twice. Now that I have the blade installed I have some guarded thoughts. 1. This is not a direct OEM replacement. The quality of the material used is very poor. The knife arm, return springs and the knife itself are cheaply made or lack some cosmetic parts compared to OEM.2. The length of the blade itself is not the same. This unit is about an inch shorter than the OEM blade.3. You cannot use an OEM blade and just replace the blade. Not suitable. So all these defects are not the fault of the seller/manufacturer. It clearly says this is a Kia Soul Blade. However, the roughness of the plastic is physically noticeable compared to OEM. I'd rather spend the extra $10 and buy the OEM if that choice was even available here at Revain. I believe it will do the trick. But I'll definitely keep my old blade hand in case I find a better replacement.
