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

Replacing windshield wiper blades with Nissan Almera G15 takes no more than 10 minutes and requires no tools. The main thing is to remove the old wipers correctly without damaging the arms. Follow the instructions:

Step 1. Preparation

Park the car on a level surface and turn off the ignition. Raise the wiper arms to the vertical position (they will lock on their own). If the brushes are stuck to the glass, carefully pry them off with a flat-head screwdriver (do not use a knife!).

Step 2. Removing old brushes

Press the latch (plastic latch) where the brush is attached to the lever. At the same time, pull the brush down, sliding it along the lever. On Almera G15 mount is used Hook 9×3 mm, so the movement should be smooth, without jerking.

Important! Do not pull on the rubber band as this may cause the fastener to break. Hold only the plastic base.

Step 3. Installing new brushes

Compare the attachment of the new brushes with the old ones. If the adapter does not fit, use the adapter included in the kit. Slide the new brush onto the lever until it clicks. Make sure that the latch snaps into place - pull the brush down, it should not fly off.

Step 4. Check

Lower the levers onto the glass and turn on the windshield wipers in washer mode. Check:

• 🔸 Are there any gaps or stains on the glass?
• 🔸 Do the brushes catch on the plastic casing?
• 🔸 Do they press evenly against the glass along the entire length.

What to do if new wipers squeak?

The squeaking noise is usually caused by dry rubber or an improper fit. Try wiping the bands with silicone lubricant (do not use WD-40!). If the squeak remains, check whether the mount is skewed.

Common mistakes when choosing and replacing wipers

Even experienced car owners sometimes make mistakes that lead to rapid wear of the blades or damage to the glass. Here are the most common:

1. Buying brushes of the wrong size. For example, installing 65 cm wipers instead of 60 cm leads to them touching each other or the edge of the hood.
2. Ignoring fastening type. Fastening Hook 9x4 mm (for example, from Toyota) not suitable for Almera G15 - the brush will dangle.
3. Saving on quality. Wipers for 200–300 rubles. They usually last 1-2 months before starting to leave streaks.
4. Replacement of only one brush. If you change the driver's windshield wiper, be sure to replace the passenger's wiper as well - varying wear leads to uneven cleaning.
5. Using windshield wipers in winter without preparation. Before frost, treat the tires with a special conditioner (for example, Liqui Moly Scheiben-Frostschutz).

⚠️ Attention: If after replacement the wipers begin to “bounce” at high speed, check to see if the arms are bent. On Almera G15 This is a common problem after careless washing or snowfall (when the levers are lifted manually without locking).

• 💧 Clean your tires regularly. Once a month, wipe the belts with a damp cloth and soapy water to remove road dust and tar.
• ❄️ Preparing for winter. Before frosts, apply silicone lubricant (not oil!) to the rubber. This will prevent it from freezing to the glass.
• 🚿 Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. Always use washer first. Dry friction wears out rubber in a few cycles.
• 🅿️ Park correctly. If snow is expected, raise the windshield wiper arms to a vertical position to prevent them from freezing to the glass.
