Hyundai i30 Wiper Blades Replacement Parts

Both years fall within the second-generation i30 (Mk2, 2012–2017), so the wiper blade attachment points and arm sizes are the same and blades from a 2015 car should be a straight swap onto a 2013. That said, wiper blades are a wear item and breakers rarely list them individually, so you may find better value buying new replacement blades to the correct arm fitment spec. If you do source used blades, confirm the blade length and connector type with the breaker against your registration.

The first-generation i30 (2007–2012) and the second-generation Mk2 (2012–2017) are different body generations with different wiper arm designs, so the blades and arms are not a like-for-like swap. Even if the blade lengths happen to match, the connector fitting on the arm itself often differs between generations. Confirm exact arm type and blade connector style with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Trim level does not affect wiper blade fitment on the i30 – SE, SR, N Line, and other trim grades all share the same windscreen and wiper arm arrangement within a generation. You may find cosmetic differences in how the wiper arms are finished, but the blade size and connector type are the same. Any used blades from the correct generation should fit regardless of the trim they came from.

The Mk2 i30 received a facelift in 2015 but the wiper system was not significantly redesigned as part of that update, so blades from a pre-facelift Mk2 are generally compatible with the facelifted version. However, because this crosses a production change point, it is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration to be sure no running changes were made to the arm or connector. Blade lengths and connector type are the key things to check.

The rear wiper is fitted to i30 hatchback variants and the arm and blade size can differ between the Mk1 (2007–2012), Mk2 (2012–2017), and Mk3 (2017 onwards) generations, so you should not assume cross-generation compatibility. Stick to sourcing a rear blade from the same generation as your car for the best chance of a direct fit. Confirm the blade length and rear arm attachment type with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Wiper blades are a high-wear consumable and breakers rarely hold or list them as individual items, so availability from dismantlers can be hit and miss. New replacement blades for the i30 are widely available at modest cost from motor factors and are supplied to the correct length and connector spec for your registration. If you are buying from a breaker primarily because the arm or mechanism is damaged, that is worth pursuing – but for the blade itself, new is usually the more practical choice.
