Any recommendations for good wiper blade replacements? While the drivers side has worked well, the short passenger side has never done a great job. Winter driving and parked outside may have prematurally aged them. 2022 Hybrid Limited.

They arms are J hook style, so there should be plenty of third party blades that will fit.

Driver Side
26"
Passenger Side
16"

Consumer Reports recommends Bosch ICON. I've had good luck with them.

Where did you buy them? (I bought Valeo Ultimates from Amazon, that I now suspect were counterfeit. I've been buying them for years from Amazon too, for different vehicles with nice results, but the recent purchase was a poor one. I just checked, and I started purchasing them back in 2014. Ten seperate orders. Maybe I need to check which seller had fulfilled recently.)

And, are you happy with them? Same or better performance than the original? The last think I want is to be driving along, wipers-a-wiping, and have one fail and fly off.

I bought mine from Amazon, and appears to be genuine. Unfortunately, we have not received much rain here in Napa, so still waiting to test them out.

I'm in Montreal, Canada, and this is my 1st 2022 Tucson purchase, love it very much except the wipers, it keeps on ice buildup and not cleaning the windshield contrary it builds ice on every move.
any good ice weather wiper's out there

I shooped Amazon and saw a review posting with pictures that showed packaging that looked the same as some wipers I bought for another car, with a different fitting. Those work well so I tried these. They do appear to be the same product but with the J hook fitting our Tucsons use. I've intalled and they work great! Very quiet. Leave streak free. However, I'm keeping the old pair in the trunk. I don't know how strong the plastic attachement is going be with heavy wet snow or ice. I'll come back and report.

I'm just seeing what little I paid, and given how well they wipe, I may as well order another pair to keep handy.

PS: The Amazon fitment check says these don't fit the Tucson, but they do fit my 2022 Tucson Hybrid Limited.

These continue to work very well. Quiet too.

If you are looking for replacement wiper blades for your Hyundai Tucson, here are a few recommendations to consider:

1. Bosch ICON 26A Wiper Blade
2. Michelin RainForce All Season Wiper Blade
3. PIAA Super Silicone Wiper Blade
4. ANCO Contour Beam Wiper Blade
5. Valeo 600 Series Wiper Blade

I have replaced with Bosch ICONs.

Overpriced but better than OEM.

Really any Silicon blade will be better than OEM.

I have the Bosch ICONs, ran them on my last car and LOVED them. No real change on the Tuscon, but I mainly wanted it to help get rid of bug splatter.

I recommend either doing a ceramic coating on your windshield or put Aquapel Glass Treatment By PWG on. Just make sure you strip the glass first to get all contaminates off, and if you can, buff the windshield.

My previous car had PIAA Super Silicone Wiper Blade. That combined wtih rain-x windshield washer, and I rarely needed to use the wipers because the rain kept beading and rolling up the windshield.

When it comes time to replace, I'll likely go with the same, or upgrade to the PIAA Aero Vogue ( assuming they will fit ) to keep the frameless blade style that came with the Tucson.

Rock Auto has way better deals on wiper blades, but the shipping can be high. Bulk orders there are best, so I order blades for all my cars at one time along with everything else I need.

Michelin wipers from Costco have been great and are cheap. Better quality than the OEM wipers mine came with.

The OEM were horrible on ours. They sucked after about 6 months. You'd think OEM would be better. On my RAM I'm still running the blades it came with, and they are over 2 and a half years old and in much better shape.

Agreed, my OEM wipers also sucked. Replaced around 6 months at low mileage.
