Wiper Arm

[A1218]

Anyone know if any aftermarket wiper arms work on the 1997 Pathfinders? My front wiper arms seems to be a bit bent from this past winter somehow and I cannot find any dealer or Nissan part website that has them.

They tend to clatter even when new blades are used.

Thanks

They’re actually not in stock. I’ve called around, even those websites. The passenger side they might be able to get in a month.They all said the driver side there’s one left in the entire country and most likely it’s not there anymore.

Well, it was worth a shot. Plan B is to check the used inventory. https://www.car-part.com/

Some parts just aren't available as aftermarket parts. Rogue One's plan B is your best bet. I found them, from an old 2001 Pathfinder, at AH Parts for $10 each but it will probably cost just as much to ship them unless you live near Rancho Cordova, CA, where they are located.

New blades aren't all the same. I've installed new ones, from good manufacturers even, but their budget line that chattered when new. Bosch is usually a good brand, but some of the worst blades I've had have been Bosch. Unless, maybe, someone was trying to turn them into a pretzel, a modestly bent arm shouldn't cause chatter, that's the blade.

Now cosmetics may drive you crazy and necessitate replacement, but that's a want not a need.

Haha

Which blades have you found to be the most decent?
