How to Change Windshield Wipers

Windshield Wipers


In Omaha’s climate you can expect windshield wipers to last six to 12 months. Snowy winters and stormy springs will require you to change your windshield wipers sooner than later, so pay extra attention to them if the weather’s been rough. Snow, ice, salt, and extreme temperatures can wear down the rubber on the wiper blade. If your windshield wipers are doing more smudging than cleaning, it’s time for a change. Learn how to change windshield wipers with Sid Dillon Nissan, and get wipers designed to perfectly fit your Nissan in our parts department.

How to Tell if You Need to Change Windshield Wipers

It doesn’t take a Beatrice pro to tell if it’s time to change windshield wipers. You’ll see the tell-tale smudges on your windshield and possibly hear the awful squeaking noise as they rub the glass. A quick visual inspection of any of these signs will verify that it’s time for new wipers:

  • Cracked Rubber
  • Separated Blades
  • Gaps in Windshield Clearing
  • Scratches to Windshield Glass
  • Loose chunks of blade

Sometimes cleaning your windshield wipers will fix the problem. Pull up your windshield wiper blades and run your finger across the surface that’s in contact with the windshield. If you feel dirt and debris, wash it off and see if that fixes the problem. If you notice that pieces of the blades are missing then you should replace them before the next Kearny thunderstorm.

How to Change Windshield Wipers

If you need new windshield wipers and want to change them yourself, you’ll save some money, which is great! Make that savings go further when you buy genuine Nissan windshield wipers from the Sid Dillon Nissan parts department. Check our parts specials to save even more money! Once you have your new wipers, follow these instructions:

  1. Position your windshield wipers so they’re upright.
  2. Pull them carefully away from the windshield.
  3. Read the instructions on your windshield wiper’s packaging for how to remove them. You’ll either have to depress a tab to pull it off or slide it off with the wiper arm.
  4. Discard the old wiper blades.
  5. Clean your windshield thoroughly to prevent dust and dirt from getting on your new windshield wipers.
  6. Install the new windshield wipers by doing the reverse of steps two and three.
  7. Replace the blade on the other side.
  8. Carefully return your windshield wipers back to their regular position.
