Follow these steps to learn how to remove front windshield wipers in your 2012 Kia Rio5. Always replace both windshield wiper blades, even if only one side is streaking - the rubber on the opposite side is likely worn as well. We recommend changing the wiper blades on your Rio5 at least once a year even if you don't use your wipers much - the sun wears out your wiper blades more than using them to wipe water. We recommend changing the wiper blades on your Rio5 at least once a year even if you don't use your wipers much - the sun wears out your wiper blades more than using them to wipe water. Another trick to enhance the longevity of your Rio5's wiper blades is to scrape off the ice and snow from the windshield before using your wipers.
