How to Remove Wiper Arm Assembly 12-19 Nissan Versa

Difficulty: Beginner · About 20 min · Nissan Versa

Remove and reinstall a windshield wiper arm on a 2012–2019 Nissan Versa, aligning the blade to its original windshield position.

Steps

1. Mark and remove the wiper arm

   Place painter's tape on the windshield to mark the blade's parked position. Pry off the arm nut cap, remove the retaining nut, and rock the arm gently to free it from the splined shaft without prying against the glass.

2. Reinstall the wiper arm

   Align the arm with the tape mark and seat it fully on the splines. Install the nut and tighten it to the vehicle specification, then press the protective cap into place.

3. Check wiper sweep

   Remove the tape and run the wipers with washer fluid on a wet windshield. Confirm the blade parks correctly and does not strike the cowl or opposite blade; reposition the arm if needed.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
