How to measure your own windshield wiper blades

If you are unsure of the dimensions or plan to install aftermarket wipers, measure the old blades yourself. To do this:

Remove the brush from the lever (press the lock and pull down)

Place it on a flat surface (for example, a table)

Measure the length only the rubber part (without metal or plastic fastening)

Write down the dimensions for the driver's and passenger's sides separately-->

📏 Important: Do not measure the brush “along the curve” - it should lie flat, without bends. Error even in 2–3 cm will cause the new wiper to touch the plastic casing or not reach the edge of the glass.

For the rear brush, the measurement is carried out similarly, but keep in mind that on Qashqai J11 it is attached through bayonet connection (twist lock). When purchasing an analogue, make sure that the kit includes an adapter for such a mount.

What to do if the brushes are of different lengths?

On some modifications Qashqai J11 (for example, for the Japanese market) asymmetrical wipers are installed: driver's - 65 cm, passenger's - 40 cm. If you bought a set with the same dimensions (for example, 65/65 cm), the passenger blade will touch the windshield pillar. In this case, you will have to cut the rubber element or buy a brush of the required size separately.

Common mistakes when choosing and installing brushes

Even experienced car owners sometimes make mistakes when replacing wipers. Here are the most common of them:

• 🚫 Ignoring Mount Type. For example, trying to install a brush with a mount Side Lock on the lever under Hook will cause the latch to break.
• 🚫 Buying “universal” brushes. They often do not fit in length or have weak pressure, which is why they do not clean glass well at high speeds.
• 🚫 Installing winter brushes in summer. The rubber in winter wipers is softer and wears out faster in hot weather, while summer models can freeze to the glass at sub-zero temperatures.
• 🚫 Using brushes that have expired. Rubber loses elasticity through 1–1.5 years, even if it looks normal on the outside.

⚠️ Attention: On Qashqai J11 with the system Auto Hold (automatic stop) It is not recommended to install weighted brushes (for example, frame brushes with metal inserts). They place additional stress on the wiper motor, which can lead to premature wear of the gearbox.

2) Cleanliness of the windshield (sand and dirt accelerate wear of rubber).

3) Condition of the wiper arms (play or corrosion may cause uneven pressure).-->
