I found that Costco has the wiper blades for front, Michelin Rain-X
Have not installed to see if they fit.

Also, Nissan part numbers:

I could not get the Bosch Aerotwin, but the Bosch ICON 26A and 18A also fit...

They look a bit weird, but they work well. The cost was about the same as ordering the Nissan OEM ones from Nissan online (around 30 $ before tax CAD), but the Nissan ones on my car don't wipe well in heavy rain after only 4 months (Aug - Dec), so I did not want to get the same. Next time, I will try the OEMs to see how long they last.

Is it easy to install? I got the OEM ones but have not done yet. Likely I will need a ladder to reach them 😋

 

[muskrat]

Easy - you need to lift the clip upward, then slide them out horizontally moving towards you. It is a simple hook shape like the picture below.

Changed to the Bosches also in the summer. They're not perfect but acceptable. The original ones are better, but the price here is ridiculous.

Good to know. I will try the OEMs on the right side of the car to see how it compares to the Bosch, given both are priced the same where I live.

Just tried replacing my wiper blades with Anco Contour that I purchased from Rock Auto. Unfortunately even though they fit the arm there is a plastic guard that interferes with the washer. I waited too long to try them out. Will use them on my Toyota.

Hi everyone, glad to see this forum thriving! Anyone have a non-OEM part number for the back wiper? Mine is streaking badly.

 

[new2niss]

Have anyone replaced the back wiper? I got the picture with OEM part number but I’m bad at interpreting it. opening the box only shows the blade and not including the arm. So not sure how to slide/twist the old one out.
I got someone replaced my front ones, so it’s good. To me cleaning back window often so I don’t use wiper a lot but it does wear out. BTW, it’s been 2 yrs so I’m stretching all of them.

Thanks for the recommendation, I got the same ones and they're working great so far!

I have to ask, having run across this thread. Everyone is talking about replacing the entire blades (everything that clips into the arms). Is there some reason one can't replace just the rubber inserts? That is usually a LOT cheaper. I have done this for years on my Infiniti and Maxima before that. I never replaced an entire wiper, ever.

Do what works for you.

Ideally we would just repalce the rubber insert like everyone used to to 40 years ago, but many of the wipers today do not allow that - the wiper is a plastic-moulded and there is no metal cage anymore. More $ for the companies that sell wipers

Again, I have replaced the rubber inserts in my current Infiniti and previously in my Maxima and previously in my CRX. You didn't have to go back 40 years or even 20.

So it isn't possible to replace the inserts in the wipers used on the Ariya? That is annoying.

Why is that annoying? You're driving a 21st century, state of the art, futuristic EV! Before getting annoyed, learn to appreciate the advanced type of car that you're driving.

Just enjoy the wipe 😁

I remember those days when you could just purchase the inserts. I think the first I remember that inserts were not readily available was with our 2011 Leaf. Nissan parts department wanted to sell us the entire thing and not just the inserts ("... we don't sell just the inserts for the Leaf..."). After a bit of digging, we found that the rubber inserts for the Murano were perfectly compatible, and they did sell those separately. So, we bought those.
