You can check the market by VIN code: the first 3 characters will indicate the country of production. For example, SJN... — Great Britain (Europe), JN1... - Japan.

How to determine the size of wipers if there is no data on the model?

If you are not sure about your generation Juke or you suspect that the previous owner installed non-original brushes, there are two reliable ways to find out the exact dimensions:

1. Measure old wipers.

   Take a tape measure or ruler and measure the length rubber part (excluding plastic fastening). Measure along the outer edge of the arc. For example, if the driver's wiper measures 62 cm, look for blades measuring 24" (610 mm) - rounding down is acceptable.

2. See markings on the back.

   Many original and high-quality aftermarket wipers are marked with a size in inches or centimeters. Look for numbers like 24", 610mm or 26" (660) on a plastic case.

⚠️ Attention: Don't be confused total length of the wiper (including fastening) with working length of rubber part. For example, a 24" brush assembly can be up to 65 cm long, but the working surface will be exactly 610 mm.

Types of mounts: why new wipers may not fit?

Even if you have chosen the correct size, new brushes may not fit into place due to incompatible fastening. U Nissan Juke There are two main types used:

• 🔗 Hook (hook, U-shaped) - the most common type. Suitable for Juke F15 and Japanese versions F16.
• 🔄 Bayonet (bayonet, side clip) - used in European Juke F16 since 2019.

How to determine the type of mount on your car?

1. Raise the wiper perpendicular to the glass (to the replacement position).
2. Look at the connection between the brush and the lever:
   • If you see metal hookthat wraps around the plastic adapter is Hook.
   • If there is side button or latch, and the mount resembles a “herringbone” - this is Bayonet.

Many manufacturers (eg. Bosch, Denso, Valeo) wipers are supplied with universal adapters, which are suitable for both types of fastenings. But cheap non-original brushes often come with a fixed mount - check this when purchasing!

What to do if the mount does not fit?

If the new windshield wiper does not fit into the arm, do not try to force it into place - this may break the plastic adapter or bend the metal hook. Instead:

1. Check if the kit includes additional adapters (they often come in the box).

2. Buy a separate adapter (costs 100–300 rubles).

3. Contact the store for a replacement - according to the law “On the Protection of Consumer Rights” you can return the product within 14 days if it is not suitable for objective reasons.

Original vs non-original: what to choose for Juke?

Original wipers Nissan (article for Juke F15 — 28260-4M000, for F16 — 28260-5N000) cost from 2,500 to 4,000 rubles per set. But are they better than non-original analogues? Let's compare:

Criterion	Original wipers	High-quality non-original (Bosch, Denso, Valeo)	Budget non-original (Finwhale, AVS)
Service life	2–3 years	1.5–2 years	6–12 months
Cleaning quality	Excellent (graphite coating)	Good (silicone rubber)	Satisfactory (regular tires)
Noise level	Silent	Minimal creaking	Possible creaking and vibration
Price per set	3 000–4 000 ₽	1 200–2 000 ₽	400–800 ₽

💡 Lifehack: If you want to save money but not sacrifice quality, take Bosch Aerotwin or Denso Hybrid. These brushes are not inferior in characteristics to the original ones, but cost 1.5–2 times less. The main thing is to check compatibility using the manufacturer’s catalogue!

⚠️ Attention: Cheap wipers from "Chinese" stores (for example, AliExpress) often have inaccurate dimensions. For example, the stated 26" actually turns out to be 25" or 27", which leads to poor cleaning of the glass edges. Read reviews with photos before purchasing!
