Nissan Pathfinder: Do-it-yourself - Windshield wiper blades

Cleaning

If your windshield is not clear after using the windshield-washer or if a wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the blade or windshield.

Clean the outside of the windshield with a washer solution or a mild detergent. Your windshield is clean if beads do not form when rinsing with clear water.

Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth soaked in a washer solution or a mild detergent.

Then rinse the blades with clear water. If your windshield is still not clear after cleaning the blades and using the wiper, replace the blades.

CAUTION Worn windshield wiper blades can damage the windshield and impair driver vision.

Replacing

Basic Information

Replace the wiper blades if they are worn.

To replace the windshield wiper blades, follow the procedure below:

1. When the ignition switch is ON or within 60 seconds after placing the ignition switch from the ON to OFF position, place the windshield wiper and washer lever into the OFF position.

2. Rapidly lift the windshield wiper and washer lever A upwards twice within 0.5 seconds. This action will cause the wipers to automatically take the service position.

3. Once the wipers are in the service position, push the release tab B .

4. Move the wiper blade C down the wiper arm and remove.

5. Insert the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until it clicks into place.

6. Rotate the wiper blade so the dimple is in the groove.

7. Finally, lift the windshield wiper and washer lever to the mist position D once and release. This action will cause the wipers to resume the set position.

CAUTION

• After wiper blade replacement, return the wiper arm to its original position; otherwise it may be damaged when the hood is opened.
• Make sure the wiper blades contact the glass; otherwise the arms may be damaged from wind pressure.

If you wax the surface of the hood, be careful not to let wax get into the washer nozzle F . This may cause clogging or improper windshield-washer operation. If wax gets into the nozzle, remove it with a needle or small pin E .
