How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Nissan Altima

The Nissan Altima is known for its superior handling of the road. But if you face adverse weather conditions, you'll need to make sure that you also have good wiper blades so that you can see that road. Here are some tips on how to replace the wiper blades on your Nissan Altima in just a few short minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement Nissan Altima wiper blades

Instructions

1. Raise the wiper arms so that they are away from the windshield. The wiper blades will hold in place once they are standing up straight.

2. Press the release tab. Hold the tab as you perform the next action.

3. Slide out the old wiper blade and discard.

4. Replace the new wiper blade by sliding it along the track of the wiper arm. Slide it along the track until you hear a "click." This will alert you it's in place.

5. Return the wiper arm to its original position so that it is laying against the windshield. Repeat these actions on the other wiper arm of your Nissan Altima.

Tips & Warnings

• Instead of replacing the wiper blades, you can clean them to see if it eradicates poor wiper blade performance. Simply take a wet rag and wipe down the rubber blade when the wiper arms are standing up. This may save you the cost of buying a new set of wiper blades.

• The Nissan Altima owners manual cautions that "worn windshield wiper blades can damage the windshield and impair driver vision."
