How to Remove and Install the Wiper Blades on Nissan Qashqai?
2 Answers
Nissan Qashqai wiper blade removal and installation method is as follows: 1. Push the wiper towards the front of the vehicle to the fixed position with slightly more force. Press the fixing button device of the wiper blade, hold the wiper blade at the same time, shake it upwards, and remove the wiper blade. 2. Open the two small buckles of the wiper to remove the old rubber strip. 3. When installing the prepared new rubber strip, use your fingers to spread the two metal pieces and insert them into the first groove. Do not install both sides at the same time, but do it side by side. 4. After the new rubber strip is successfully installed, follow the reverse order of the disassembly process to smoothly reinstall the wiper.
I've been driving the Qashqai for several years, and replacing the wiper blades is simple but requires attention to detail. First, turn off the car for safety, and when lifting the wiper arm, place a towel or cloth on the windshield to prevent the arm from snapping back and damaging the glass. The Qashqai uses a hook-type connector—locate the small button or clip at the connection point, press and slide gently, and the old blade can be pulled out. If the rubber strip on the old blade is hardened, cracked, or shows signs of aging, it's time for a replacement. Hold the new blade at the correct angle, align it with the arm hook, and push until you hear a click to lock it in place. After installation, spray some water to test the wiping performance; if it's uneven or makes noise, readjust. It's recommended to replace them every six months, ensuring you buy the correct size for the Qashqai (check the owner's manual or packaging for the model number). Poor wiping increases driving risks, especially in rainy conditions. Doing it yourself saves time and money, and it's a good opportunity to clean the windshield of grease and dust, ensuring clear visibility and peace of mind.
