Since my factory one ripped. Both of them! I bought the new rain-X latitude for around $40 and they are by far the best wiper blades I have ever purchased. well worth the money.

every car has different size. I got 28 for driver side and 17 for passenger side. Every place has a computer that will tell you exact size thought because it also depends on the year of your car.

both my blades were ripped by around 13,000. Somehow I managed to get all the way to 20,000 without changing them hah. I complained to Nissan but they said its not a warranty part which I understand.

You can lookup the correct wipers with make/model/year at the store or online (search "wiper size lookup") Most stores have the old school application guide books and some have the little computer boxes.

Why would you think that your wiper blades would be covered after 20000 miles?

I’m going to go out on a limb here, and make a wild guess that you have not read the Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty booklet that was included with the Nissan Altima Owner’s Manual. When I purchased my Altima, both of these were in a folder/holder in my glove box. Yours may be in the glove box too. They both contain a wealth of useful information.

Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty

Page 6 WHAT IS NOT COVERED

MAINTENANCE SERVICE EXPENSE

This warranty does not cover normal maintenance services as specified in your NISSAN SERVICE & MAINTENANCE GUIDE such as engine tune-up; cleaning and polishing; wheel alignment; headlight aiming; replacement of filters, replacement of windshield wiper inserts, replacement of key fob batteries, lubricants, coolant; worn brake shoes, pads, drums and rotors and worn clutch discs.

I have read the entire manual and I also worked for the dealership so I know how the warranty works. However I had complained about those wipers from the first day I purchased my car and had taken it into the dealership multiple times but they would just clean them with alcohol wipes and that was it.

Anyone have Bosch Icon's on their alty?I have Latitudes since last summer and i think it's time for winter replacement. Might as well go with Latituded again or try something else, not sure yet.

My latitudes started making a weird noise and so I went back to walmart to exchange them but they were completely sold out of the sizes and so was strauss auto and autozone. So I got the Bosch. They are amazing as well. I do not notice a difference between the two except that they Bosch were much cheaper and they had a mail in rebate for the second wiper.

I put Bosch Icons on both my Nissans. I like them much better than the other brands. I have tried Rain X, Michelin, Anco and Bosch. The Bosch seem to be superior to the others.
