Replacement Wiper Blades
Perhaps this question is better suited to our local Super Cheap Auto.
Although, we are due for new Wiper Blades, 2003 TI Manual, 25000Kms.
Can anyone recommend a particular brand or type which you've bought and are using, which works well with the Xtrail? And where did you buy from?
Regards

Re: Replacement Wiper Blades
This post has been moved from a doubled-up one I mistakenly created
============================================
Hi Guys,
Has anyone replaced their front and rear wipers yet and if yes, which ones did you get and how much?
The dealer did not offer to replace the wipers during any of the past service inspections and I think they've been long due for a replacement, as the rubber has stiffened and it's now playing a symphony on my windscreen when I use them
I’m not a fan of K-Mart wipers, as I used them before on my Camry and they didn’t last long and they also scratched my windscreen, as the rubber compound was very poor/stiff.

Re: Replacement Wiper Blades
Copied Noel's response to my earlier question
============================================
Jalal,
I asked this question to the forum a while back and was recommended the twin blade wipers.
Against the recommendation I decided to purchase one of the fancy single blade with 7 edge wiper blades. These I’ve found to be real crap from the very start. So don’t get these.
Cheers

Re: Replacement Wiper Blades
I haven't had to buy replacements for the Exy yet, but I bought Trico blades for my AUII Falcon. They're OEM fit for all Aussie cars (so the marketing hype says) and I found them to be good quality. A little pricier than cheap brands, but worth it IMHO.
Not sure if they make any long enough for the Exy driver's side though!!

Re: Replacement Wiper Blades
Decided to do the splurge to the Teflon today. I've had enough of hearing that awful scratching sound for the past 6 months.
JD, Your absolutely correct that the Drivers wiper blade is 24” and the Passenger wiper blade is 18”. They are also a 6mm blade, for people looking at an alternative to Teflon.
Here is a pic of the packaging and part code:
I bought these at Autobarn for $10 each, and I must say they are worth every penny. A very nice wiper blade, lets just see how long it will last.

Re: Replacement Wiper Blades
Noel,
I thought I'd check the price of the genuine nissan ones first before I go for aftermarket and they replaced all of them for me yesterday for:
T30 SERIES I WIPERS
Front (large) $15.60 Part Number (2889579907)
Front (small) $12.14 Part Number (288959H400)
Rear $14.70 Part Number (2879589916)
T30 SERIES II WIPERS
Front Driver $ 20.57 (part number 2889579907)
Front Passenger $10.00 (part number 28895EQ010)
Rear $14.65 (part number 2879589916)
What a difference to the ones I had for over 2 years now
So, the price difference between these and aftermarket ones is not that huge anyway.
