Can somebody point me in the direction of where I can buy a rear wiper for my i30 in the UK please?
Halfords don't seem to stock them and other places only seem to sell the older shape :s
Can't get to dealer too easily.

Can you not just buy a rubber insert and cut down to length to save buying the whole unit

That's what I did - from Halfords.

Fiddly to fit - but worth it.

:link: Rear Wiper Blade Fits Hyundai i30 (2007-2013) Hatchback Genuine Rocwood | eBay

They are very good match to the original blades but one advantage is that the squeegee rubber and metal strips can be removed and fitted to the original Hyundai wiper blade frame.  Easiest way is to pop a swinging arm off the original Hyundai frame and slide the old  rubber out then fit the new rubber into the Hyundai frame and pop the swinging arm back into the main part.

Apologies as I have posted another thread on this.  Can mods merge please?

The link you have put up is a different wiper to what I have on my car, mine is a flat blade, which I can't seem to find anywhere.
I guess I'll have a go at taking it apart and replacing just the rubber.

I realised you have a GD but was not sure if a different style rear wiper was used on it.  Nonetheless, the link is useful for others as the range available seems to cover many makes and models.

As you are seeking a less expensive solution than a new Hyundai blade, if the fitting is the same as FD, why not use an FD blade?

Thanks but I wasn't seeking a less expensive solution, I just wasn't able to buy one anywhere. In the end I managed to take apart the wiper and replace the rubber as described above.
