2019 Nissan Altima Wiper Blade Sizes

Finding the right wiper blades for your 2019 Nissan Altima is a straightforward maintenance task that vastly improves visibility and safety in adverse weather. This guide provides all the necessary information, from sizes and part numbers to installation instructions.

Quick Reference: 2019 Nissan Altima Wipers

The 2019 Nissan Altima is a sedan and is not equipped with a rear wiper blade from the factory.

Best Aftermarket Replacements

While OEM blades from a Nissan dealership are always a perfect fit, many high-quality aftermarket options offer superior performance, longevity, and value. These blades are widely available at auto parts stores and online. Most come with the correct pre-installed adapter for a simple installation.

• Bosch ICON (Premium): A top-tier, beam-style blade known for its excellent all-weather performance and long lifespan. Its bracketless design provides uniform pressure for a clean, consistent wipe.
• Rain-X Latitude (Mid-Range): A popular water-repelling beam blade that applies a Rain-X coating to your windshield as it wipes. This technology helps water bead up and roll off, improving visibility even when the wipers are off.
• Trico Force (Mid-Range): A robust and durable beam blade engineered to perform at high speeds and in heavy wind. It’s a great choice for drivers who frequently travel on highways.
• Michelin Stealth (Value): A hybrid blade that combines the aerodynamics of a beam blade with the sturdy frame of a conventional one. It offers excellent performance for its price point.
• PIAA Si-Tech (Premium Silicone): These silicone blades are extremely durable and leave a coating on the windshield that repels water. They cost more upfront but often last two to three times longer than standard rubber blades.

Attachment Style

The 2019 Nissan Altima uses a J-Hook attachment for both the driver and passenger side wiper arms. This is the most common type of wiper arm, shaped like the letter "J" at the end. Replacement blades typically slide into this hook and click securely into place.

How to Install New Wiper Blades

Changing your wiper blades is a simple process that requires no tools and only takes a few minutes.

1. Lift the Wiper Arm: Gently pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in a service position, standing upright.
2. Remove the Old Blade: Locate the small release tab where the wiper blade connects to the J-Hook. Press this tab and push the blade downwards, away from the hook, to release it. Be careful not to let the bare metal arm snap back against the windshield, as this can cause it to crack.
3. Install the New Blade: Slide the new wiper blade’s adapter into the J-Hook on the arm. Pull it upwards until you hear a distinct "click." This indicates it is securely fastened. Give it a gentle tug to be sure.
4. Lower the Arm: Carefully place the wiper arm and new blade back down onto the windshield.
5. Test the Wipers: Turn on your wipers with some washer fluid to ensure they operate smoothly and clear the windshield effectively.

When to Replace Your Wipers

For optimal visibility and safety, you should replace your wiper blades every 6 to 12 months. However, you should replace them immediately if you notice any of the following signs of wear:

• Streaking: The blade leaves behind lines or streaks of water.
• Chattering: The blade skips or vibrates as it moves across the glass.
• Squeaking: The wipers make an audible noise with each pass.
• Cracked Rubber: Visual inspection shows that the rubber squeegee is cracking, splitting, or hardening.

Regularly cleaning the rubber edge with a damp cloth can extend its life, but once wear becomes evident, replacement is the only solution.
