    Thank you so much for this tutorial on changing the wiper blades on a Kia Optima. You made it look so stress-free.

    Girl... THANK YOU SO MUCH for teaching me this. I’m a single woman, and I either have to figure it out myself or pay someone. I have been needing wipers. Mine is damaged like your’s was, so I really appreciate you posting this. It’s step by step, super easy. I feel very confident I will be able to do this myself now. Thank you!

    Thank you April! Tried to use instructions I found online and the videos from Rain-X directly. Your instructions was by far more helpful and built confidence on trying to change it myself.

    Listen, I just bought a 2016 Optima and was tryna figure out how to change these when I came across your page. Thank you! Props to you, because the other videos I saw were not NEARLY as helpful. I don’t care who gets mad at my next statement. From a black man who wasn’t getting the right help from NO MAN, I got it from a black woman. Thank you.

    Very informative. I didnt even know about holding the wiper stock to make them stand up like that. I just got my 16 optima like a week ago and I'm completely new to the newer cars. So used to driving old 80s and 90s Hondas.

  • @davidthompson3434

    Excellent video thank you. Just one thing, I was terrified that while you were unwrapping the new blade, that your wiper arm was going to spring down on to the windscreen. If it had, it could have caused some damage. A good tip is to gently lower the wiper arm after you have removed the old blade before lifting it again to fit the new one.

    • @coolcalmapril6850
      @coolcalmapril6850  Před 5 lety

      I will definitely be more gentle next time, thanks for the tip!

    Thanks for instructions. My Kia Optima bought in Sweden has switched this upside down, it therefore worked out when I held the handle downwards.

    This is a very good instructional video. I noticed access to the wipers were impossible and tried to stop them by turning off the power while they were moving. Lol, after a couple of failures trying that I went to CZcams and found this video first. Thanks for sharing because people will tear up their hoods trying to pull up the wipers! I hope they do their research and find good info like yours.

      @@coolcalmapril6850 Yeah I try it and it worked. Just confirming
      Just press the button 2 times (turns red, on position without the engine running)
      Then press it one more time until the button turns off
      And pull up the wipers switch for 2-3 seconds, the wipers will move to a vertical position and stay there until you activate them again.
