Well this a very simple and easy, but it thought why not post up a DIY on it just in case you've never done it before.

Step 1

Remove the old blades by pushing these metal 'clips' and pull the old blades down and off.

Step 2

Now slide the new blades on....using the gooves in the new blades to run through all the clips of the wiper

Step 3

OK with the new blades on, you'll now have alot of over hanging blades....

Out come the pliers or old scissors (not the good scissors!!!!!! :) )

Now off to the dyno for the re-tune.

(this was done on my WRX :) )

Also just a quick tip, for having a really clean outside window, use a little Meguiars clay bar on the windscreen, it cleans it up awesome!!

they come in either 6mm or 8mm. buy the correct one. the aunger ones are both 6 and 8mm, so they should fit anything.

Be careful using those plastic cut it yourself ones. they might slip off. if that happens, your window will get scratched.

Best stick with the metal insert ones.

I would suggest staying away from the wipers you get from Big W etc etc

Get the blades with the metal inserts, they are much quieter and wipe much more better.

I have wasted my time on crappy wipers which have annoyed the hell out of me. Spent $23 on genuine Nissan wipers and will never look back.

Quiet, smooth and wipes everything off in one swipe. hahah

As I said above, quieter and better wiping isn't the main problem. If the non metal one slips out, the arm will scratch the window.

I have this nasty scratch on my daily driver's windscreen. Mum must have driven with a broken blade for like 5 years or something.

BTW, You don' ahve to spend 23$ ffor genuine nissan ones. Nissan don't make wiper blades. Bosch - avaialble at supercheap auto make metal insert ones. Just get the right length ones.

  • 3 months later...
  • 1 year later...

So, as the links don't work.

Please show me lead me to where to get some new blades.

I've got 3 10+ year old cars that have never had them changed. I can't see in the rain.

Let me know and recommend.

Also, will i just be able to buy the same ones and fit on all the cars?

Anybody help me lol. I don't care about stickers lol.

Most auto stores stock them. Super Cheap have the Aunger and Bosch refills, both of which i have tried and recommend.

Make sure you measure the longest wiper so that you get the right sized refills,

and choose the brand that comes with a free sticker............. :P

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
