Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact. ### What wiper connector does a 2012-2016 Hyundai Elantra use? Hook-style arms; sizes consistent across the generation including Coupe and GT. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch. ## Sources - [AMSOIL lookup, 2012 Elantra 1.8L oil spec/capacity](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2012/hyundai/elantra/1-8l-4-cyl-engine-code-e-7/) - [AMSOIL lookup, 2014 Elantra 2.0L GDI oil spec/capacity](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2014/hyundai/elantra/2-0l-4-cyl-engine-code-h-1/) - [PR Newswire, 2014 Hyundai Elantra Coupe 2.0L GDI 'Nu' engine specs (173 hp)](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/2014-hyundai-elantra-coupe-ups-fun-factor-232754401.html) - [NHTSA recall 23V-651, ABS module internal leak / fire risk](https://api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/recallsByVehicle?make=hyundai&model=elantra&modelYear=2013) - [NHTSA recall 15V-871, ESC unintended braking](https://api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/recallsByVehicle?make=hyundai&model=elantra&modelYear=2012) - [NHTSA recall 13V-115, side curtain airbag bracket](https://api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/recallsByVehicle?make=hyundai&model=elantra&modelYear=2012) - [Hyundai Nu Engine class-action settlement overview, BBB National Programs](https://bbbprograms.org/programs/dr/class-action/hyundai-nu) - [Hyundai Motor America press release, 2022 Engine II litigation settlement](https://www.hyundainews.com/releases/3657) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2013 Elantra EPA ratings (all trims)](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2013_Hyundai_Elantra.shtml) - [Edmunds, 2013 Elantra specs (curb weight, fuel tank)](https://www.edmunds.com/hyundai/elantra/2013/features-specs/) - [Hyundai/Kia OEM oil filter 26300-35505 fitment listing](https://hyundai.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/hyundai-oil-filter-2630035505) - [wheel-size.com, Elantra MD/UD OE tire and wheel fitments](https://www.wheel-size.com/size/hyundai/elantra/2013/) ## Other Hyundai Elantra generations - [2021-2025 Hyundai Elantra wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2021-2025/wipers) - [2017-2020 Hyundai Elantra wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2017-2020/wipers) Or [compare all generations](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/wipers). ## More for the 2012-2016 Hyundai Elantra - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/tires) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/hyundai/elantra/2012-2016/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
