What is the method for replacing the wiper blades on a Tiida?
4 Answers
The method for replacing the wiper blades on a Tiida is: 1. Power on the vehicle without starting the engine, pull the windshield washer switch, and the wiper arms will rise; 2. Lift the wiper arm, press the clip on it, and push the wiper blade downward; 3. Use your left hand to press both sides of the wiper connector to loosen the cover above the connector; 4. Thread the wiper arm through the connector and insert the U-shaped end of the wiper arm into the wiper connector. Taking the 2021 Tiida as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, 1539mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a curb weight of 1180kg.
1. Replacing the Qashqai wiper blades is actually quite simple. First, turn off the engine and lift the wiper arm, then press the small clip on the U-shaped connector and push it outward—the old wiper blade will slide right out. Remember to place a thick towel on the windshield; last time I forgot, and the wiper arm snapped back with a 'bang,' cracking the glass! When installing the new wiper, pay attention to the direction—the arrow on the rubber blade should face toward the roof of the car. After installation, spray some windshield washer fluid to test if it wipes cleanly. If the blade jumps, it means it's not secured properly. Nissan wiper connectors are mostly universal now, so just look for 'vehicle-specific' when purchasing.
2. To replace the Tiida wiper blades, first purchase a new set of wiper blades from the auto parts market. Lift the plastic cover at the end of the wiper arm, press down the retaining clip, and the old blade can be pulled out. The key point is to switch to maintenance mode during replacement: turn off the power immediately after ignition, push the wiper lever downward for three seconds, and the wipers will stand upright in the middle of the windshield. When installing the new blade, the rubber strip should click into the groove with an audible 'click' to confirm proper installation. If you don't hear the sound, it means it's not securely locked. Finally, remember to remove the protective film from the new wiper blades. Two years ago, my colleague forgot to remove the film and only realized the wipers weren't sticking to the windshield when it rained during highway driving.
3. Three Easy Steps to Remove and Install the Tiida's Wiper Blades. Press the square button on the wiper head, pinch the clip, and lift it upward. When purchasing new wiper blades, pay attention to the size—26 inches for the driver's side and 14 inches for the passenger side. During installation, align the connector with the wiper arm slot; a successful fit is confirmed by the sound of the lock snapping into place. After installation, test the wipers by spraying windshield fluid and activating them. If there's jumping or unusual noise, readjustment is necessary. It's advisable to replace the wiper blades before winter snowfalls, as aged rubber strips can freeze stiff and cause chattering on the windshield.
