After you remove the wiper from the arm--direction in the owners manual. You just carefully slide the inserts off the rubber notches from one end--the top end of the wiper--until it comess off the wiper. Then remove the metal strips on each side and put it in the new rubber refill and slide it back into the wiper until it locks onto the notches again.--slide from the top end of the wiper. You will see how you need to align it as you go down the wipers lenght.

 

If they're anything like the ones on my 07 you'll need to get them from the dealer. Pretty odd design that I have never seen in a part store.

 

The thing is, they are not like the honda/toyota oem ones like you are describing, you can't slide it from one side. im beginning to think you have to change the entire wiper blade assembly

 

I always replace the entire wiper blade. It doesn't pay to just replace the inserts.

 

Can you please just stop posting? All you do is offer terrible advice. Yeah, just swap out the whole wiper for some crap universal blade you picked up at the parts store. Nevermind that it probably won't even touch the windshield on the ends because of the shape of the Murano windshield, or the fact that our stock blade is a great aerodynamic design that sticks really well to the window at speed. If it was indeed "better" to replace the whole blade Nissan wouldn't have made the insert replaceable.

 

Did you buy a used MO? I am almost sure your wiper is not the original nissan wiper that is why you can't remove the rubber refill. I love those refills. They are the smoothest and cheapest wipers ever. Tried those aftermarket ones and the rubber seems to get hard quickly so you get jumps/ vibrations when there is not enough water on the windshield--hate that noise-very annoying. On the refills never happens. And yes, they are similar to the hondas and toyotas if its oem wiper thats installed there.

 

Wondering if you were sucessfull in changing you blades? I just did mine, and it wasn't that simple. I suspect I did something wrong.

I bought the refills from the dealer (surprisingly cheap).
Removed the blades, which was pretty easy.
Inserting the new ones were not that easy. Sure, the rubber blade fit in fine, it was the metal rods that did not easily go in.

Now, that I have them installed, the blades don't have a "flat" fit to the glass. There are portions where they don't clean the glass, and i'm left with streaks. Drives me mad!!

Do I reset myself? Or just take the high dealer cost (over a $100/hour!?!).

 

The metal strips just slides in the slit on each side of the rubber refill which makes it firm to push it through the wiper. There is a notch in the rubber refill which should end up at the top end of the wiper to lock it in. Could you have bent part of the wiper when inserting it back in? I guess you can just get a whole oem wiper or aftermarket ones if you suspect anything bent.

How to Replace Windshield Wiper Blade Refills | AutoMD

live like animals,
their love is pure..

 

this is infact a great design, you dont even neet to take the wiper off the windshield, just slide the old one off and slide the new one of, OEM quality and cheaper than a whole wiper arm...

 

would you be able to lift the wiper arm completely free without hitting the hood? mine on 07 can't do to lift both arm it stuck and hitting the hood; would you suggest to set the arm a little bit upward so it will be free and able to lift up arm?

thanks!

 

The way to remove the wiper is to turn it on and then off as it swing midway the windshield clearing the entire wiper arm off the hood. No calibration. Should be in your owners manual.

 

this was the thing i did, i am just wondering in winter season as you cannot operate the wiper without cleaning the snow

anyhow, Thanks to you all!:29:

 

i usually just refill my wipers when im low on cash. and replace the whole arm when im loaded with dough

Halwg, you been suckered. Yes, sure, it is easy to replace an entire arm assembly. Now look at that arm assembly, times two or three blades, times the first million cars. Look at how much non-recyclable plastic waste that pile makes. It is totally pointless to have that huge pile of plastic when all that needs to be changed in the simple rubber strip. A rubber strip that takes less than 1/10 the volume and fuel to ship and store and display, as well.

You and most of the car market have been suckered into thinking the whole arm needs to be replaced. I've got wiper arms on my car (not the Murano) that are 25 years old, and still work perfectly well, despite everyone telling me "Oh you can't just replace the rubber, the arms get bent and don't work right". Yeah, bent, by gremlins in the night.

If you want to be rich and lazy and wasteful, that's what it is and as long as you can afford it, you're possibly entitled to. But next time you see a big stinky landfill or have to wait for a garbage trunk to pull down the road--remember, when you replace those wiper arms you're creating a mountain of garbage, and you're also paying a bloody fortune to do it.

Brand name wiper arm replacement? $15-25 discount. Brand name rubber strip for those cars that can use them? $4-5 MSRP. Do the math, don't get suckered.
