Thread: wiper replacements

Started 3 months, 2 weeks ago by sileung
Anyone replace their wipers yet? If so, what did you do? replace just the rubber strip or the entire blade?

I replaced with ANCO Contour Wiper Blades. They cost almost $50 in autozone and I don't like them. Planning to replace them with rain-x wipers for about the same price.

What size are the front wipers?

philipa_240sx replied 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Drivers: 24" Passenger: 14" The rear wiper can only be purchased at the dealer. Fortunately it doesn't need to be replaced often. It's Nissan part no: 28795-CT00B Personally, I use a cheap Wal-mart knock-off of the Rain-X Latitudes. They are a frameless blade type. Replace them once year, sometimes more. The frameless type work very well in winter.

I was thinking about the autozone wiper blades aftermarket and i found one for the driver's side but the passenger's side unavailability. so at one time, out of the blue went to honda new cars and approach the new 2009 honda fit and i noticed its wiper blades sizes seemed identical to the nissan rogue so i measured it. wallah its exactly fitted so i ordered and now i have a better looking ...

If you cannot find a 14" blade for the passenger side, buy a 15", it will fit too. For summer, I use a frame 16" wiper from Walmart or CanadianTire, and for winter a frameless 15" from Michelin (Costco). The frameless feature of the michelin makes that the 16" wiper touches frame so I had to reduce it back to 15". As for the rear window wiper, I think it is possible to change only the rubber, so...

The Wal-Mart frameless blades are called 'ViewMax'. They now come in 14" sizes that fit the passenger side. They are actually decent wiper blades. They look nearly identical to the Rain-X Latitude. They fit well, don't chatter, and perform well in all weather conditions... from rain to heavy snow and ice. I have not had any problems with them. Note: Not sure if these blades are available ...

I find that the frameless wipers are a hit and miss kind of deal. There have been times where I would get a set which perform excellently while other times it tends to chatter. this observation is made from purchasing the same brand of wipers at different intervals. However, I do think that the frameless work very well in the winter as there is less ice/snow build up.

true but cant you should be able to run oversize wiper blades, bosch recommends 28" and 14" for the rogue. did you end up running the 16" michellins on the passenger side? what about the driver side, did you stick with the stock 26" size?

Having 14" on the passenger side fits nice and flush. Anything larger will actually overrun the windshield where it rubs onto the A pillar. As for going bigger on the drivers side, I'm not too sure. I accidentally got a size too small (24") but it works fine so far.

I'm using PIAA Super Silicones based on prior experience with them. The fronts are full replacements while the back is just a refill (and takes some slight modification to fit).
