They've sent you the wrong part then as I got one from them for a 2019 Ceed SW & that fitted OK.Thanks iooi- Found this Kia Cee'd Rear Wiper Blade (12 onwards)
States that 2012 onwards. I did buy 2012 piece but that did not fit a 2019 car. So just have emailed them.
Why dont you just buy a rubber refill and re rubber the blade..Hi All
Any one knows where can I order online a rear wiper blade for Kia Ceed 2019 1.0 T-GDI CD ?
Many thanks

Can you give me a pic of the blade used on your car.. what ever the blade there is usually a way of changing the rubber blade@Phil in Wales : That seems like a good idea, however the blade in my car is a flat one. So the method in the video won't work.
Ok.. remove one end cap ..slide out old rubber. Slide in new rubber.. refit the end cap.. cant get a better view of how the cap is fitted but I'm sure you can work that out.. obviously if your not certain of how it comes out leave well alone..@Phil in Wales : Yes!
I currently get my blades from "wiperblades.co.uk" - they are cheap, Bosch or similar, and rapid turnround.What had happened to mine wasn't the actual rubber but the rear blade assembly itself - it was slightly twisted, hence not making great contact in patches on top/bottom & I know why.
Automatic carwashes.
The new blade has been through a couple of carwashes and I note it gets pushed down below the rubber on the glass & then pushed back up. Over time I can see this twisting the (very small/short) blade assembly.
As an aside I absolutely hate the rear screen in the Ceed SW (MY2019 on) due to the amount of water/dirt/etc that gets sucked onto it from both above & below when you're travelling at speed.
I understand why its happening (aerodynamics) but its a real PITA to sometimes have to put the heater on the rear screen simply because of water from the road in the middle of May. Never mind having to wash the rear screen more frequently than the front even in dry weather.....
Sorry, we digress.
Try a Niro. Never known a car in all my years of motoring that gets so much crud on the rear screen/boot. Never used rear wash wipe in a car for years. Now I have to as it is the only way to keep screen clear for rear dashcam...As an aside I absolutely hate the rear screen in the Ceed SW (MY2019 on) due to the amount of water/dirt/etc that gets sucked onto it from both above & below when you're travelling at speed.

They (Kia Parts UK) are actually a Kia dealership based in Hinckley ( New & Used Cars Dealers | Coventry, Leicester & Hinckley | TMS Group ) so how can they not "do" the rear wiper blade? They sent me the right part a few months ago.Checked with them- they don't do the rear wiper blade for 3rd gen of Ceed.
