Wipers for Nissan Almera G15: sizes, part numbers and selection rules

Replacing wipers with Nissan Almera G15 (2012–2019 model years) is a task that every owner faces sooner or later. Not only the quality of cleaning the windshield, but also the safety of driving in rain or snow depends on the correct selection of sizes. However, even experienced car owners sometimes confuse the parameters for the driver’s and passenger’s sides, especially when it comes to restyled versions or cars with the option of heating the resting zone of the brushes.

In this article we will look at exact dimensions of wipers for Almera G15 all modifications, including original articles and proven analogues from Bosch, Denso and other brands. You will also learn how to avoid common mistakes when purchasing (for example, mixing up the length for the left and right brushes) and what to do if the standard sizes do not fit due to tuning or damage to the fasteners. For convenience, we have collected the data in tables and added step-by-step instructions for replacement.

Original dimensions of Almera G15 wipers: table by year

Manufacturer Nissan did not change the size of the wipers for Almera G15 throughout the entire life cycle of the model (2012–2019), however, there are nuances for cars with the option heating the resting zone of the brushes. In 90% of cases the following parameters are relevant:

Wiper position	Size (length), mm	Original article	Notes
Driver's side (left)	600 mm	28560-BM40A	For all versions, including 2016 restyling.
Passenger side (right)	400 mm	28561-BM40A	In some trim levels it may be 420 mm (see below)
Rear wiper (hatchback)	300 mm	28530-BM40A	Version only Almera G15 Hatchback

⚠️ Attention: On machines with the option of heating the brush rest zone (K12 in the equipment code) the passenger wiper can be longer 420 mm instead of the standard 400 mm. You can check this by the VIN code or visually - these brushes have an elongated plastic casing at the base.

If you're not sure of the size, measure your old wipers with a tape measure. from the edge of the rubber band to the edge of the plastic fastener. Do not rely on the length of the metal frame - it is always 10–15 mm shorter.

How to check the size of wipers without removing them: 3 ways

It is not always possible to remove the brushes for measurement, especially if they are still working but require replacement. Here are three reliable methods for determining size: without removing the wipers:

• 📏 Visual assessment: Place a ruler or tape along the wiper from the edge of the mount to the tip of the rubber band. For the driver's side the value should be close to 600 mm, for a passenger car - to 400 mm (or 420 mm for heated cars).
• 🔍 Checking by VIN: Use services like official Nissan decoder or AutoData. Enter the VIN and find the "Windshield Wipers" section (Wiper Blades).
• 📱 Mobile applications: Applications like AutoZone or CarScanner allow you to scan the VIN and get exact dimensions. For Almera G15 they usually match the data from our table.

⚠️ Attention: If your car has been in an accident with damage to the windshield or windshield wiper mounts, the dimensions may differ from the standard ones. In this case, it is better to remove the brush and measure it physically.

The best analogs of original wipers: what to choose instead of Nissan

Original wipers Nissan (28560-BM40A And 28561-BM40A) cost from 1,500 to 2,500 rubles per set, but their quality is often inferior to analogues from trusted brands. We tested 5 popular alternatives and compiled a rating based on price/quality ratio:

Brand	Article (600/400 mm)	Price, rub.	Features
Bosch Aerotwin	3397004665 / 3397004664	2 200	Frameless, graphite coated, quiet and durable
Denso Hybrid	DU-600 / DU-400	1 800	Hybrid design, works well in cold weather
Champion EasyVision	E600 / E400	1 200	Budget option, but they creak after 6 months of use
Hella FlatBlade	HB600 / HB400	1 500	Flat, with uniform pressure, but copes worse with ice

For winter use we recommend Denso Hybrid — their rubber compound does not harden in the cold, and the hybrid design prevents icing. If your budget is limited, take it Champion EasyVision, but be prepared to change them once a year.

⚠️ Attention: When purchasing analogues, check the type of fastening! For Almera G15 need an adapter Hook (U-type) or Side Pin. Most modern brushes come with universal adapters, but it is better to check with the seller.

Make sure the dimensions match (600/400 or 600/420 mm)

Check the type of fastening (Hook or Side Pin for Almera G15)

Inspect the rubber band for cracks

Try to bend the brush - a high-quality one will not break or crack

Compare weight: wipers that are too light often adhere worse to the glass -->

Step-by-step instructions for replacing wipers on Almera G15

Replacing brushes with Almera G15 takes no more than 10 minutes and requires no tools. Follow this algorithm to avoid errors:

1. Preparation: Raise the wiper to a vertical position (perpendicular to the glass). To do this, turn on the ignition, activate the wipers for one second and turn them off in the up position. If that doesn't work, remove the fuse. F30 (15A) in the block under the hood - this will block the wipers in their current position.
2. Removing the old brush: Press the plastic clip where the brush is attached to the lever and pull it down. If the latch does not budge, pry it off with a screwdriver (carefully so as not to break it!).
3. Installing a new brush: Align the new brush adapter with the hook of the lever and press until it clicks. Make sure that the latch snaps into place - pull the brush up, it should not come off.
4. Check: Turn on the wipers at minimum speed and check for any skipping or squeaking noises. If the brush “jumps”, check that the pressure is evenly applied to the glass.

⚠️ Attention: Never turn on your wipers if there is ice or snow on them! This may bend the arms or damage the motor. In winter, remove ice from the brushes by hand before use.

What to do if the new wiper squeaks?

Creaking usually occurs due to:

1) Incorrect pressure - check whether the brush lies evenly on the glass.

2) If the glass is dirty, wipe it with alcohol or a special cleaner.

3) Poor quality rubber - cheap brushes often creak after 3-4 months.

If the squeaking persists, try applying silicone lubricant to the rubber band (not the glass!).

Typical mistakes when choosing and replacing wipers

Even experienced car owners sometimes make mistakes that lead to poor performance of wipers or their rapid wear. Here are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them:

• 🔄 Left and right brushes are mixed up: On Almera G15 The driver's brush is always longer (600 mm), the passenger's is shorter (400 or 420 mm). Installation on the contrary impairs visibility.
• 🔧 Incompatible mount: For example, trying to install a brush with a mount Bayonet instead of the required one Hook. Always check the adapter type!
• ❄️ Ignoring winter conditions: Summer wipers become dull in the cold. For winter, choose models with a graphite coating or a hybrid design.
• 🚿 Savings on quality: Cheap brushes (< 800 rubles per set) often leave streaks and last less than 6 months.

Another common problem is uneven pressure of the brush to the glass. This happens due to:

• Curvature of the wiper arm (after an accident or careless replacement).
• Dirty or corroded lever joints - clean and lubricate them WD-40.
• Incorrect installation - the brush must be fixed until it clicks.

Wipers for the restyled Almera G15 (2016–2019): are there any differences?

In 2016 Nissan Almera G15 underwent restyling, but wiper sizes remain the same - 600 mm (left) and 400/420 mm (right). However, there are two caveats:

1. The rear wiper mount has changed on hatchback: instead Side Pin began to be used Top Lock. This is important when purchasing a rear brush.
2. Heated brushes appeared in top trim levels (Tekna). They are visually distinguished by their elongated plastic body and require 420 mm long brushes on the right.

To determine exactly what size is needed for your restyled Almera G15, use one of the methods:

• 🔎 Look at the sticker under the hood - the equipment number may be indicated there (for example, K12 means heating is available).
• 📊 Check VIN in official decoder — in the “Options” section the heating system for the wipers will be indicated.

If you are not sure, take a universal kit Bosch Aerotwin with adapters for both mounting options - they are suitable for both pre-restyle and restyle.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is it possible to install wipers longer than standard ones?

No, this is fraught with consequences: long brushes will touch each other or the edges of the body, which will lead to damage to the paint or the wipers themselves. The maximum permissible deviation is +10 mm (for example, 610 mm instead of 600 mm), but it is better to stick to the original dimensions.

How often do you need to change wipers on Almera G15?

The recommended interval is every 6–12 months or at the first sign of wear:

• The appearance of streaks on the glass.
• Creaking or “jumping” of the brush during operation.
• Cracked or peeling rubber band.

In regions with frequent temperature changes (for example, Siberia), change wipers every six months.

Are wipers from Renault Logan suitable?

Partially. Renault Logan the second generation (2014–2020) has the same wiper dimensions (600/400 mm), but the mounting may differ. For Almera G15 need an adapter Hook 9x3, and Logan sometimes used Hook 9x4. Please check compatibility before purchasing.

What to do if the wiper does not press against the glass?

Causes and solutions:

• 🔧 The lever is loose: Tighten the nut securing the lever to the shaft (you will need a 10mm wrench).
• ❄️ Hinges frozen: Treat them with silicone grease or WD-40.
• 🚗 Lever bent: Try straightening it manually or replace it (part number 28510-BM40A).

Which wipers are better - framed or frameless?

For Almera G15 we recommend frameless (For example, Bosch Aerotwin) for the following reasons:

• Fits curved glass better.
• Less frostbite in winter.
• They are quieter at high speeds.

Frame ones are cheaper, but wear out faster and cope worse with icing.
