To replace the rear wiper of Qashqai, follow these steps: 1. Press the small clip inward, push the bracket outward, and remove it. 2. Open the clip of the frameless wiper and insert the bracket. 3.

Qashqai, the first work of Nissan European Design Center, is named after the nomadic tribes living in the desert in Iran, meaning "urban nomad", and its positioning is between compact SUV and hatchback. 2. Qashqai is equipped with a newly developed 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine by Nissan, with peak horsepower and torque output reaching 113bhp and 190Nm respectively.
Last time I replaced the rear wiper of my Qashqai myself, I realized how simple it was. I just lifted the old wiper arm to a vertical position, pressed the square buckle in the middle, and pushed it outward to remove it. The new wiper I bought was an original factory-matched one, and it clicked right into place when installed. Remember to gently place the wiper arm back onto the glass to avoid damaging it. The whole process took less than five minutes, saving me 200 yuan in labor costs compared to going to the 4S shop. Actually, when the rear wiper rubber ages, it won’t wipe cleanly, affecting visibility in rainy weather, so it’s recommended to check and replace it before each rainy season. Nowadays, buying wipers online is very convenient—just make sure to select the Qashqai-specific model to avoid getting the wrong size.
At first, I was afraid of damaging my car when replacing the wipers myself. Later, I found that changing the rear wiper on the Qashqai doesn't even require tools - even someone as clumsy as me can do it. The specific steps are: with the engine off, lift the wiper arm, locate the black plastic head at the connection point, press hard while pulling outward, and the old wiper comes off. Just align the new wiper with the slot and push it in until you hear a click. The key is to handle the wiper arm gently - once I almost cracked the rear windshield when my hand slipped. The rear wiper rubber tends to deform in summer, but after replacement, it wipes super clean and gives much clearer visibility.
The key to replacing the rear wiper of the Qashqai lies in its buckle design. From my research, you just need to locate the square buckle at the junction of the wiper arm and the rubber blade, press the protruding part and push it towards the rear of the car to remove the old wiper. When installing the new wiper, pay attention to distinguish the front and back sides, and make sure the arrow points in the direction of travel. After installation, remember to spray water to test the wiping effect. If the wiper jumps, it may not be installed properly. Doing this job yourself can save a lot of money, especially since the rear wiper size of the Qashqai is special. The 4S shop charges 180 yuan for a non-original replacement, while buying an original rubber blade yourself costs only 40 yuan. Replacing it twice a year doesn’t hurt at all.
