Does the Hyundai Santa Fe Have a Rear Wiper?

Yes. Every Hyundai Santa Fe includes a rear windshield wiper, and it uses a different blade size and attachment than the front wipers. The rear blade has actually gotten shorter over time — from 13" on early 2000s models down to 11" on 2024–2026 models — as Hyundai reshaped the rear glass with each redesign, so don't assume a newer Santa Fe needs a longer rear blade than an older one.

How to Install Wiper Blades on a Hyundai Santa Fe

Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the upright service position.
Lift the small release tab on the underside of the blade where it meets the J-hook.
a. Or push in the button if installing on a 2026 model
Slide the old blade down and off the arm.
Slide the new blade onto the J-hook until it clicks securely into place.
Repeat for the rear blade, using the same hook-and-click motion.
Lower each arm slowly, keeping a hand on it so it doesn't snap back against the glass.

Why Correct Wiper Blade Size Matters on the Santa Fe

Because the Santa Fe is built for all-weather versatility, it's important to ensure correct fitment for your wiper blades:

Proper blade size ensures full visibility across the entire windshield
Incorrect sizes can cause streaking, chatter, or missed coverage at the edges
Rear visibility is especially important in winter weather, when the rear blade sees the most use
Because the connector hasn't changed across generations, a wrong-size blade on the Santa Fe is almost always a length mismatch, not a connector mismatch — worth checking your year against the table above before assuming a blade is defective
