I recently replaced the wiper blades on my Nissan Sylphy, and it felt quite simple. First, lift the wiper arm to prevent it from snapping back and damaging the windshield. Locate the connection point between the wiper and the arm—most Sylphys use a U-shaped hook design—press the hook and pull to remove the old wiper. Make sure the new wiper blades are the right size; the Sylphy usually has main and secondary blades around 20 inches each. Align the installation slot and gently snap them in until you hear a click. Finally, test them by spraying some windshield washer fluid and wiping a few times to check for any unusual noise or shaking. Remember not to rush to operate the wiper switch, as it can damage the motor. The whole process takes about 10 minutes. Replace wiper blades when they wear out—about every six months is ideal—and check them especially during winter when they might freeze.
