Wiper length

[zzoo]

I have a quite stupid question, I hope you could help, It regards the windshield wiper length. In the last few days, I'm looking for the exact length in vain. Could we simply measure the total length of the wiper ?

I should buy a new wipers, do you know the wiper length for Rogue ? Thank you very much.

go to your local napa or advanced auto or whatever parts store you like, in the wiper section theyll have a catalog that tells you what length blades to buy for each wiper

[zzoo]

Yes, I did check the catalogues, but I couldn't find Rogue since it's relatively new.

did you ask somebody at the counter? maybe the electronic system is updated

if all else fails and nobody else knows ill measure mine later tonight and let you know the actual blade length in relation to the length you buy

i've been doing the research about the wiper too, i want to change to rain-x wiper.

the length of the driver side is 24" and passenger side is 14"and rear size is 12"

but it's really hard to find 14" and 12" on the market, they all starts from 15"

u can go http://rainx.com/get the size

You are outta luck here. I've searched far and wide and so far have not found a frameless wiper smaller than 16" that fits the passenger side. I've tried a 16" but it is about an inch too long and the wiper hits both the driver side wiper and the edge of the windshield. I just run the Rain-x on the driver's side. OEM Nissan on the drivers side.

I think I may just pick up a winter specific blades (the ones with the protective rubber boot) for next year... a 24" and 15" should just barely fit and they are readily available.

For summer use, the OEM's seem to last the longest. If you are willing to fiddle with them, you can get refills from Nissan without changing the whole blade.

thats a really weird stagger, normally you dont see that much of a difference

also how expensive are the oem?

[philipa_240sx]

I haven't checked yet. My Altima was about $25 to refill both front wipers. About the same as buying brand new aftermarket wipers (blade and all). But the OEM Nissan ones seem to be a bit more durable.

BTW, speaking of wipers I change mine almost every 6 months. Refills for the OEM wipers every spring and new winter wiper blades in the fall. I hate windshield streaking. And yes, I've tried and used Rain-x water repellant. IMHO I couldn't justify the cost and time to apply it.

i use rain-x once every 2 weeks or so and change bosch blades every 6 months, i cant really drive my car in snow so i dont worry about winter blades, you guys dont have that problem

Sorry to bring back an old post, but I just changed my wipers last week.The size is really a 26" for the drivers side, but there is no way you'd find that size.I put on TripleEdge blade for the drivers side: http://www.tripledge.com/ it is Silicone and has a lifetime warranty. I love the blades, I had it on my altima for a year and a half before I traded it in for the Rogue.For the Passenger side (14") I found a cheap $3 blade at walmart. It does its job, as I've already been through a few rain storms. I'm sure I'll have to replace it at the end of the summer, but for $3, I'll do it. I'm just happy I could buy the tripledge for the drivers side.Now I guess I just need to get the OEM rear window wiper.

Strange!Since I read this thread, I bought a 15" at walmart and found some space left, so I decided to try a cheap CT 16" wiper on the passenger side.

It works great!! Not touching the edge of the windshield (still about 5mm left), neither the driver wiper (but I did the modification found on another thread to eliminate the gap to the A pilon).

Now, my wife has a full 1 inch more (16-14/2=1") visibility to complain about my driving.

Correction: You are right... but I am right too!!

Since yesterday, it was a mess to try going back home, I decided to go shopping until the bridges were opened again, instead of standing in the traffic.

I found nice Michelin wiper blades and I decided to buy them for the driver side (26") and the passenger side (16").When I installed them, since the Michelin wiper blade is larger than a normal (cheap) one, it touched the edge of the windshield. I will have to move back to 15" blade for the passenger side if I want it for the winter (they look great, low profile, and efficient).

Conclusion: If you buy cheap blade (Pylon red at WM (4.74 $CA) or the cheapest one at CT (kinda brown box, about 5 to 6 $CA), you can use a 16" blade.If you buy regular brand blade, you will probably have to stick to a 15" blade.

Too much time to spend, definitively. Get a life, Pescakl1!!!
