Nissan did a pretty good job trying to get you back to the dealer for wipers...

Save Yourself Some Time: The Nissan Versa's 14" passenger side replacement windshield wiper is very hard to find in the newer-style beam blades. The 12" rear is also very hard to find because it’s a special rear blade that fits the special rear arm.

After a ton of research, I've only found one aftermarket set-up that works: 'Trico NeoForm Beam Blades' on the front (yes, they have a 14") and 'Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blade' on the rear (yes, it fits the special rear arm). All of the above come with step-by-step, illustrated removal and replacement instructions - easy install. Got the whole set-up online.

I found the 14" for the passenger by RAIN-X. Just replaced mine this winter with new Rain-X wipers. I had no trouble finding the 14" size.

I replaced my front ones with the Rain-X, too, although the 14" was only available in a lower quality model than the longer one. I hadn't found a replacement for the rear one, though. That's why I was happy to see these Trico ones.

I just bought a Toyota Supra a while ago and the wiper blades where terrible! Went and purchased some Rain-X ones from AutoZone for like $8.99 each. Not bad and they do a really good job.

Than I drove my Versa and noticed how terrible mine where working so I need to stop by and pick up a set for my Versa too. This is great to know so I don't have a bunch of trouble searching for the awkward 14" blade, thank god I don't have a hatch. :D

Here you go: https://www.wipers123.com/NeoForm.php

Also, take note that I was talking about one-piece, frameless beam blades, not conventional, old-school wipers. You can find 14" lower grade wipers quite easily. Its the 14" that only comes in the NeoForm brand.

I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and almost EVERY brand of Wiper they had (Rain-X, plus a few I've never heard of) ALL had 14" and smaller (12" as well). It can be found, just have to look !!!!!!!!!!

INCORRECT!! :crazy: (at least for the USA)

Note: I was talking about FRAMELESS, ONE-PIECE (whatever you want to call the new style wiper blades), NOT old-school, framed wiper blades. You are correct that you can find 14" in the older styles practically anywhere. But I only know of one 14" beam blade. I have never seen new-style wipers any shorter than 16" in any store I've been in, that's why I turned to online.

:wtf2:

Yep they had frameless ones! So no, I'm not incorrect!

:dblthumb: Yes, the Flex are great and come in all the required sizes except the 14". For some reason Trico makes the NeoForm in 14" but not the Flex. Pretty much a win-win though...
