Video Transcript for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Scrubblade Heavy Duty Windshield Wiper Blade: Complete Installation

Shane: Hey everyone, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today I have a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, and I want to walk through how to install the Scrubblade Heavy-Duty Wiper Blades. Now when we're looking for different wiper blades, we're looking for replacement wiper blades, sometimes we'll go and pick up the cheaper ones, which they work for a little bit, but they tend to skip across the windshield or as soon as the wind hits them, they'll lift up or they flex and then you're getting a streak across the windshield because there's not enough downward pressure. So next time we go and buy a little bit more expensive ones.Well, they work for a little bit longer, but eventually they start acting like the cheaper ones. Well, the Scrubblades have changed the game, because the framing and the suspension mechanism in them is a lot stiffer. So you're getting a lot more downward pressure and each blade is going to have two blades instead of one, like your traditional wiper blades.

Each blade is going to have scrubbers along the whole edge of them and what the scrubbers do is any dirt, debris, bugs, anything like that that may get stuck on the windshield, the scrubbers on there are going to be able to pull that stuff off a lot better than a single blade, like on your traditional wiper blades.So if we compare these to our factory ones, you can see how flexible that is. You can see how stiff that is, it's basically moving this whole thing here. So you can see we're getting a lot more downward pressure on the windshield than we are with a factory one with a single blade. Each one of our blades is going to be covered in nano graphite. And what that does is it keeps the blade from skipping and chattering across the windshield if it so happens that the windshield is dry or we're in a light rain.The framing is going to be a steel frame construction.

You can see it's open, kind of vented, so as we're driving down the road and that wind's coming in, it'll actually allow it to blow through the frame itself and not pull the actual blade off the windshield. So we're getting full contact on the glass and getting as much of that water, dirt, debris, bugs, anything like that off that we can. The blades are going to come in a set of two.Now that we've gone over some of the features, we'll walk you through how to get them installed. To start our installation, our windshield wiper blades or arms actually have a hidden design. So they're kind of tucked underneath the hood and it makes it a little bit more difficult to change the blades.

So what we need to do is we need to get the arms in the upright position. How we're going to do that is we're going to put our key in, turn the accessory on position, our lever, we're going to hold it up at the mist position. So it's going to be straight up. We're going to turn this off first within 20 seconds, we need to hold this up. Our wiper blades come up like that and make it a lot easier to get our new ones installed.Now, when we're done, all we do is put our key in and turn the accessory on position, push the lever down, our windshield wipers will go back down to normal position.

Now they actually install the blade on the arm. It's a good idea to have a piece of cardboard or something like that so that as you're taking this off, if the arm actually slips out of your hand, this does not crack your windshield. We're going to raise this up. Right on the inside, there's going to be a little tab. You're going to push that and pull down. Get you a better look at it. That's it right there. Get our new one on. So I'm going to slide it in like that, rotate it, we're going to push it up until it clicks. And you repeat the process for the passenger side.Once you get both sides installed, go ahead and put your key in the accessory on position, hit your lever for your windshield wiper blades, and allow your windshield wipers to fall back down to the factory position. You're ready to go. That's going to do it for look at and installation on the Scrubblade Heavy-Duty Wiper Blades on a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe..
