Replacing wipers with Nissan Murano fifth generation (index Z51, 2015–2026) is a seemingly simple procedure, but mistakes here are fraught with consequences. Unsuitable blade sizes will result in poor windshield cleaning, squeaking during operation, or even damage to the wiper mechanism. The problem is especially pressing for crossover owners in regions with frequent precipitation or winter thaws, when the quality of cleaning directly affects safety.

In this article you will find exact dimensions of wipers for all modifications of Murano Z51, including versions with panoramic roof (panoramic roof), as well as step-by-step instructions for replacement, taking into account the nuances of the design. We analyzed data from official catalogs Nissan, owner reviews and service center recommendations to provide up-to-date information without contradictions. If you have already encountered the fact that new brushes “do not reach” the edges of the glass or leave streaks, here you will find out what the reason is and how to avoid it.

Official wiper sizes for Nissan Murano Z51 (2015–2026)

The manufacturer installs on Murano Z51 Windshield wiper blades are standard sizes, but their length may vary depending on the configuration and year of manufacture. The main difference is between the basic version and models with panoramic roof (optional B92 in the catalog Nissan), where the windshield has a different geometry.

Below is a table with dimensions confirmed by service manuals and dealer data. Please note: Even if your crossover was produced in 2023-2026, the dimensions remain the same as for 2015-2022 models, as the body and glass have not been changed.

Modification Driver's side (left) Passenger side (right) Rear wiper (if equipped)
Murano Z51 (base, without panoramic roof) 650 mm (26") 450 mm (18") 350 mm (14")
Murano Z51 with panoramic roof (option B92) 600 mm (24") 400 mm (16") 350 mm (14")
Murano Z51 (facelift 2019–2026, without panorama) 650 mm (26") 450 mm (18") 350 mm (14")
Murano Z51 Hybrid (all years) 650 mm (26") 450 mm (18") 350 mm (14")

⚠️ Attention: If your Murano equipped with a system Intelligent Auto Headlights (tactics with a light/rain sensor), check the compatibility of the new brushes with the mount. Some frameless models may block the sensor located at the base of the wiper.

To accurately determine the size, we recommend:

  • 🔍 Measure the old brushes with a tape measure from edge to edge (excluding plastic plugs).
  • 📄 Check the sticker on the inside of the hood lid - sometimes the dimensions are indicated there.
  • 🔧 Use VIN decoder to clarify the configuration (see section below).
📊 How often do you change the wipers on your Nissan Murano?
  • Every season (4 times a year)
  • Once a year
  • Only when they stop clearing
  • Never changed

How to determine the exact size of wipers by VIN code

If you are not sure about the configuration of your Murano Z51, the most reliable way to find out the sizes of the brushes is to decode VIN code. This procedure is free and takes no more than 5 minutes.

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

  1. Find your vehicle's VIN. It is located:
    • 🚗 On the sign under the windshield (driver's side).
    • 🔑 In registration documents (STS or PTS).
    • 🔧 On the nameplate in the driver's door opening.
  2. Go to one of the decoding services:
  • Enter the VIN in the appropriate field and find the section Options/Equipment.
  • Check availability B92 (panoramic roof). If there is one, use the dimensions for modification with a panorama.

    • ⚠️ Attention: On some services, the panoramic roof option may be indicated as ROOF, PANORAMIC or SUNROOF, DUAL PANE>. Please clarify this in the report.

    If decoding does not help, an alternative way is to look in the electronic spare parts catalog Nissan by body number. To do this:

    1. Find the body number (on the plate under the hood or in the documents).
    2. Use services like Partsouqby entering the model and year of manufacture.
    3. In the section Wiper Blades Original articles and sizes will be indicated.
    💡

    If you buy brushes online, always check reviews for compatibility with the Murano Z51 - some sellers list the wrong sizes for universal models.

    Which wipers are best to choose for Murano Z51: overview of types and brands

    The choice of windshield wiper blades depends not only on the size, but also on operating conditions. For Nissan Murano All major types of wipers are suitable, but each has its own pros and cons.

    1. Frame wipers

    A classic version with a metal frame and a rubber blade. Suitable for:

    • 🌧️ Regions with a temperate climate (infrequent frosts).
    • 💰 Budget replacement (the cheapest).
    • 🚗 Cars that are used mainly in the city.

    Disadvantages: They wear out faster, can become icy in winter, and fit worse at high speeds.

    • ❄️ They don’t freeze in winter (better for cold climates).
    • 🌪️ Work well at high speeds (no “separation” from the glass).
    • 🔇 They make less noise and last longer.

    Cons: more expensive than frame ones, they may not fit non-standard fastenings.

    3. Hybrid wipers

    A combination of frame and frameless technologies. The best choice for Murano Z51, if:

    • 🌤️ You travel both in winter and summer.
    • 💨 You often move along the highway (good aerodynamics).
    • 🛠️ Do you want a long service life without replacement.

    🔹 Recommended brands for Murano Z51:

    Brand Type Average price (per pair) Features
    Bosch Aerotwin Frameless 2 500–3 500 ₽ Silicone coating, quiet operation
    Denso Hybrid Hybrid 2 000–2 800 ₽ Anti-icing, long service life

    Step-by-step instructions for replacing wipers on a Nissan Murano Z51

    Replacing brushes with Murano The fifth generation does not require special tools, but there are several nuances that will simplify the process. Follow these instructions to avoid errors:

    1. Preparation

    Before replacement:

    • 🅿️ Park the car on a flat surface and turn off the ignition.
    • 🔧 Raise the wipers to a vertical position (necessary for access to the mount).
    • 🧴 Clean the windshield and the base of the blades from dirt (you can use glass cleaner).

    2. Removing old wipers

    Attaching brushes to Murano Z51 - type hook or bayonet (bayonet), depending on the year of manufacture. To remove:

    1. Press down on the latch (usually located on the side or bottom of the mount).
    2. Pull the brush down, sliding it along the lever.
    3. If the mount bayonet, rotate the brush 90° counterclockwise and remove.

    🔹 Important: Do not use excessive force - if the brush does not come off, check that you pressed the latch correctly.

    3. Installation of new wipers

    Before installation, compare the fastening of the new brushes with the old ones. If they match:

    1. Connect the new wiper to the arm until it clicks.
    2. Make sure that the latch snaps into place (pull the brush up - it should not come off).
    3. Repeat for the second brush.

    ⚠️ Attention: If the new blades are longer than the old ones, they may catch on the edge of the hood or windshield pillar. Check it visually before purchasing!

    4. Checking the work

    After installation:

    • 🚿 Turn on the washer and check if the liquid is distributed evenly.
    • 🔄 Turn on the wipers at different speeds - there should be no squeaks or skips.
    • 👀 Make sure that the brushes do not touch the plastic elements of the body.

    If your wipers leave streaks, the problem may be:

    • 🪟 Dirty glass (needs polishing).
    • 💧 Poor quality washer fluid.
    • ⚙️ Incorrect installation (check the angle of the brush).
    What to do if new wipers squeak?

    Creaking most often occurs due to:

    1. **Dry rubber** - wipe the blade with alcohol or a special cleaner.

    2. **Improper fit** - check whether the wiper blade lies flat on the glass (sometimes a slight bend of the wiper helps).

    3. **Glass stains** - use a product to remove silicone traces (for example, Glaspolish).

    If the squeaking continues, try a different brand of brushes - some models (for example, Bosch Icon) have a special coating for silent operation.

    Common mistakes when replacing wipers and how to avoid them

    Even experienced drivers sometimes make mistakes that lead to premature wear of the brushes or damage to the mechanism. Here are the most common of them:

    1. Wrong size

    If you install brushes longer or shorter than recommended, the consequences can be serious:

    • 🔧 Too long The wipers will cling to the pillars or the edge of the hood, which will lead to breakage of the lever.
    • 🪟 Too short will not be able to clean the edges of the glass, impairing visibility.

    🔹 How to avoid: Always check the size chart or measure old brushes before purchasing.

    2. Ignoring the type of fastening

    On Murano Z51 Two types of fastenings are used:

    • Hook (U-shaped) - the most common.
    • Bayonet (bayonet) - found on restyled models after 2019.

    If you buy brushes with incompatible mounts, they will have to be returned or reworked (which is unsafe).

    🔹 How to avoid: Check the type of fastening on old brushes or check with the seller whether the selected models are suitable for Nissan Murano Z51.

    3. Installation without cleaning the glass

    If there are traces on the glass from the old brushes (silicone, wax, dirt), the new wipers will jump and leave streaks. This is especially noticeable when using frameless models.

    🔹 How to avoid: Clean the glass before installation isopropyl alcohol or a special cleaner (for example, Sonax Glass Cleaner).

    4. Saving on quality

    Cheap brushes made of low-quality rubber last 1–2 months, after which they begin to “smear” the glass. For Murano This is especially critical due to the large windshield - poor cleaning impairs the performance of driver assistance systems (e.g. ProPilot Assist, if installed).

    🔹 How to avoid: Choose brushes from the mid-range or premium segment (for example, Bosch, Denso, Valeo). They are more expensive, but will last 1-2 years.

    💡

    The most common reason for rapid wear of wipers is the use of washer fluid with ordinary water instead of a special liquid. Water does not wash away grease and dirt particles, which is why the rubber of the brushes wears out 2-3 times faster.

    How to extend the life of wipers on a Nissan Murano

    The average lifespan of windshield wiper blades is 6–12 months, but with proper care they can last longer. Here are some proven methods:

    1. Regular cleaning

    Every 2–3 weeks:

    • 🧼 Wipe the blades with a damp cloth with soapy water.
    • 🧴 Apply silicone lubricant (for example, WD-40 Specialist Silicone) on rubber to protect against cracking.

    2. Proper parking

    If you leave the wipers pressed against the glass in the sun, the rubber will deform. To avoid this:

    • 🅿️ When parking in the sun, raise your wipers to a vertical position.
    • ❄️ Treat blades before frost in winter deicer (For example, Liqui Moly Anti-Frost).

    3. Using high-quality washer fluid

    Cheap or homemade washers contain aggressive components that destroy the rubber of the brushes. Optimal choice:

    • 💧 Liquids based on isopropyl alcohol (do not freeze down to -30°C).
    • 🚫 Avoid products with methanol - it corrodes rubber and is harmful to health.

    4. Protection from mechanical damage

    Brushes are easily damaged by:

    • 🧊 Scrape ice (use a plastic scraper, not wipers!).
    • 🌿 Leaves or branches getting under the lever (regularly clean the space under the hood).

    ⚠️ Attention: If scratches from windshield wipers appear on the glass, they can be removed by polishing (for example, with paste 3M Glass Polishing Compound). Deep scratches will require glass replacement.

    How to check the Murano Z51 equipment by VIN code: detailed instructions

    If you are not sure whether your Murano panoramic roof or other options that affect the size of the wipers, the most reliable way is to decode the VIN. Here's how to do it as accurately as possible:

    Step 1: Where to find the VIN

    VIN code Nissan Murano Z51 can be found in the following places:

    • 🚗 On the sign under the windshield (visible from the outside, on the driver’s side).
    • 🔑 In the registration certificate (STS) or PTS.
    • 🔧 On the nameplate in the driver's door opening (open the door to see).
    • 📄 In the OSAGO insurance policy.

    Step 2: VIN Decoding

    Use one of the proven services:

    1. Official Nissan decoder (in English, but the most accurate).
    2. Vinformer (Russian-language, with detailed report).
    3. CarInfo (Ukrainian catalog, suitable for Russian cars).

    Find the section in the report Options or Equipment and check:

    • Availability of option B92 (panoramic roof).
    • Wiper type (Front Wiper Blade).
    • Paint code (useful when purchasing spare parts).

    Step 3: Checking the spare parts catalog

    If decoding does not give a clear answer, use electronic catalogs:

    1. Go to Partsouq or Nissan Parts.
    2. Enter model (Murano), year and body (Z51).
    3. In the section Wiper & Washer → Wiper Blade Original articles and sizes will be indicated.

    🔹 Example: For 2020 Murano without panoramic roof original wiper articles:

    • Left brush: 28511-JM00A (650 mm).
    • Right brush: 28510-JM00A (450 mm).
    What to do if the VIN decoder does not show options?

    If the service does not display information about the panoramic roof or other options, try:

    1. **Call the Nissan dealership** - give the VIN, and they will specify the equipment.

    2. **View photo of the car** - the panoramic roof is visible from the outside (the glass above the front seats is wider than standard).

    3. **Check the documents** - the PTS or purchase and sale agreement may indicate the equipment.

    FAQ: Frequently asked questions about wipers on Nissan Murano Z51

    Is it possible to install wipers longer than indicated in the table?

    No, this will lead to:

    • 🔧 Breakage of the windshield wiper arm (if the blade clings to the body).
    • 💨 Deterioration of aerodynamics at high speeds.
    • 🪟 Uneven cleaning of glass (edges will remain dirty).

    If you need improved edge cleaning, choose brushes with airfoil (For example, Bosch Aerotwin) - they adhere better to the glass.
